System and method for transport PID version check

Abstract

Systems and methods for processing media information are disclosed and may include tracking a number of times that at least one stored identifier that identifies program content for a particular data channel that is received via one of a plurality of multiplexed transport data streams is modified. At least a portion of the received program content for the particular data channel may be discarded based on the tracking. The at least one stored identifier that identifies the program content for the particular data channel may include a packet identifier (PID) and a processor identifier associated with the PID that identifies at least one of a plurality of processors that parses at least a portion of the program content for the particular data channel that is received via one of the plurality of multiplexed transport data streams.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
