@Mauro, should we rename also DTV_ISDBS_TS_ID to DTV_ISDBS_TS_ID_LEGACY to remind users ?Maybe leave DTV_ISDBS_TS_ID and convert DTV_DVBT2_PLP_ID to DTV_DVB_STREAM_ID ? and dvbt2_plp_id convert to dvb_stream_id. Because DVB and ISDB different standards and look like stream id for ISDB is 16 bit, for DVB-S2/T2 8 bit.
Well, Frequency range in satellite standards are in kHz, while the frequencies on the other ones are in Hz. So, I don't think that the number of bits should limit it. In a matter of fact, even on DVB-T/T2, DVB-S/S2, ... there are some fields that gained more bits. So, I don't see any issue on using DTV_DVB_STREAM_ID on all of them, even if the number of bits are different. Of course, the API documentation should be clear about the field differences.
