During Berlin meeting, one issues raised in the XRBLOCK session is whether we should include both PAT_error and PAT_error2 in the block or take out PAT_error2?
My quick reply in the meeting is take to the list.
Here I like to clarify the difference between PAT_error_count and PAT_error2_count in the report.
PAT_error_count is used to report error when PAT doesn't occur at least every 0.5s while PAT_error2 is used to report the error when PAT table has an ID other than Hex 00
or there is more than one table ID Hex 00 inside the packet with the PAT PID.
So PAT_error_count and PAT_error2_count report two different things. Therefore I think we should keep both in the report.

Unlike the difference between PAT_error_count and PAT_error2_count, PMT_error_count and PMT_error2_count almost report the same thing, i.e., report any error when
PMT does not come up at least every 0.5s on the PID that is referred to in the PAT. The only minor difference is PMT_error2_count is applied to specific network_PID, that's why
We only include PMT_error_count in the report.

Hope this clarifies.
