I will look at the PID filter later, it defaulted to off. However, in my builds for ARM devices it is defaulted on. I will be testing this later.

The only difference being the stream endpoint number. Currently, it is implemented in identify_state on dvb_usb_v2. The get_usb_stream_config has no access to device to to allow a run-time change there.
