(Related to the subject, I did not read much further)
AV_DISCARD only affects decoding, remuxing rules out
decoding, so the flags cannot have effect on
remuxing.

There should be tools (dvbtools??) that are much (!) better suited for
this than FFmpeg:
FFmpeg has to create a "new" mpegts stream and since our mpegts
muxer is not perfect (standard-conforming) the new stream may or
may not be what you want.
A tool that has no (or little) idea about codecs, filters and other formats
but knows transport streams should be able to only discard the unwanted
streams but keep what you need, this is not possible with (current)
FFmpeg.
