IDVB_BAT Interface

This topic applies to Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and later.

The IDVB_BAT interface enables the client to get data from a bouquet association table (BAT). The IDvbSiParser::GetBAT method returns a pointer to this interface.

A bouquet is a collection of services that are marketed as one entity. A single bouquet may contain several transport streams that are delivered across different distribution media (satellite, cable, or terrestrial). 

The BAT may contain one or more table-wide descriptors. In addition, each record in the BAT may have one or more descriptors. To get the table-wide descriptors, use the GetTableDescriptorByIndex or GetTableDescriptorByTag method. To get the record descriptors, use the GetRecordDescriptorByIndex or GetRecordDescriptorByTag method.

In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown, the IDVB_BAT interface exposes the following methods.

GetBouquetId Returns the bouquet identifier for the BAT.
GetCountOfRecords Returns the number of records in the BAT.
