Description:
The Video PID configuration over-rides the standard decoder program number
selection mechanism. When a video PID is configured, the program containing
the selected video PID is decoded. If the Video PID is not found, the decoder
will stop. If the user selects a new program using the standard program number
selection, the Video PID selection will be over-ridden. It is recommended
to use the standard program number selection instead of Video PID selection
to avoid operator confusion.
