What is "NID"?

NID

Network Identification

Only applicable for digital transmissions.
The Network Identifier identifies a certain Network Provider. This enables the receiver to search for just those channels originating from this network provider. The NID is usually unique for each provider, which enables this receiver function to work.
Occasional feeds, and channels intended only as feeds for broadcasters, often do not adhere to this rule and are broadcast instead with the default NID value in their equipment.
