Thanks for your help Bill, glad to see it's been accepted, good to be able to
contribute, great news.

Oooops, you're absolutely right, that's legacy in my code, there is no IANA
assigned Simulcrypt tcp port, it has to be configured in the servers and
Simulcrypt specification explicitly mentions the ability to have multiple ECMG
servers on the same IP @, hence can't have single TCP port anyhow. Don't ask me
why we're in 8600 range, it could be anything. Not sure what default
non-assigned port is in wireshark...good catch.

ok, I'll have a look, but I also have to submit a new Ismacryp dissector, so
that'll be my priority for now! Need to clean it up a bit first ;-)

Yes, see http://www.dvb.org/technology/standards/index.xml
