Well, if nothing else, mplayer dumps out these parameters (well, not the bandwidth) when you play a video file, and you can use mplayer directly on /dev/video devices, though it doesn't de-mux atsc multi-streams. ATSC channels in theory all run about 19 megabits but the sub-channels of course are different and I presume that's what you are looking for when you want to know bandwidth? What would be nicer than the above, if anybody has seen it, would be a perl library or similar to extract these parameters from mpeg-ts files.
