There are a couple of ways to go about this. If you're using linux use
either tzap or one of the tools in dvbtools called dvbscan (or scandvb
or something similar- every distro seems to be different, so ask the
support or ml for them for the specifics. Or run find / | grep dvb as su
and see if that turns up anything once you have the dvbtools installed).
With tzap you should specify pid style (should be default I think, but
make sure).

Check out linuxtv.org and go to the dvb section. It helps explain this
for you.
