A digital television translator includes a digital television receiver for
receiving a first digital television signal at a first frequency and
generating a digital transport stream from the first digital television
signal. The digital transport stream can include original Program and
System Information (PSIP) data having RX channel data that is indicative
of the first frequency, the first major channel number, and/or the first
minor channel number. The digital television translator also includes a
PSIP update module for updating the original PSIP data in the digital
transport stream by replacing the RX channel data with TX channel data.
The TX data is indicative of a second frequency, a second major channel
number, and/or a second minor channel number. The digital television
translator further includes a digital television modulator for converting
the digital transport stream having the updated PSIP data into a second
digital television signal at the second frequency, where the second
frequency can be the same or different from the first frequency.
