	<p>
		Muxes are locations at which services can be found. On traditional networks (DVB-C, -T and -S), these are carrier signals on which the individual channels are multiplexed, hence the name. However, Tvheadend also uses the term 'mux' to describe a source for multiple IP streams - so an IP address, in effect.

		<dt>Transport Stream ID
		<dd>The TSID is a code which identifies the network origination source or transmitter.

		<dt>CRID Authority

		<dt>Scan Status
		<dd>Whether the mux is being scanned (ACTIVE), is planned to be scanned (PEND) or has reverted to idle scan (IDLE).

		<dt>Scan Result
		<dd>Whether there were any problems with the last scan of this mux.	

		<dt>URL
		<dd>Mux URL.

		<dt># Services
		<dd>The number of services found on this mux.

		<dt>Character Set
		<dd>The character encoding for this mux (e.g. UTF-8).
