Setting Channels and PIDS

Each service available on EUMETCast has been assigned a corresponding multicast channel and Packet Identifier (PID). In order to receive the service, the relevant PID must be selected. For details on how to set PIDs, see EUMETCast Technical Description.

Note for LINUX users: Linux users that have installed the dvb-eumetcast package using the EUMETSAT provided rpm/deb packages can update to the latest channel configuration by downloading the eumetcast_channels.cfg file linked below, stopping dvb-eumetcast, replacing the older version on their systems, and then restarting dvb-eumetcast.
