-Digital TV Frontend API
-#######################
-
-The Digital TV frontend API was designed to support three groups of delivery
-systems: Terrestrial, cable and Satellite. Currently, the following
-delivery systems are supported:
-
-- Terrestrial systems: DVB-T, DVB-T2, ATSC, ATSC M/H, ISDB-T, DVB-H,
- DTMB, CMMB
-
-- Cable systems: DVB-C Annex A/C, ClearQAM (DVB-C Annex B)
-
-- Satellite systems: DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB Turbo, ISDB-S, DSS
-
-The Digital TV frontend controls several sub-devices including:
-
-- Tuner
-
-- Digital TV demodulator
-
-- Low noise amplifier (LNA)
-
-- Satellite Equipment Control (SEC) [#f1]_.
-
-The frontend can be accessed through ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/frontend?``.
-Data types and ioctl definitions can be accessed by including
-``linux/dvb/frontend.h`` in your application.
-
-.. note::
-
- Transmission via the internet (DVB-IP) and MMT (MPEG Media Transport)
- is not yet handled by this API but a future extension is possible.
-
-.. [#f1]
-
- On Satellite systems, the API support for the Satellite Equipment
- Control (SEC) allows to power control and to send/receive signals to
- control the antenna subsystem, selecting the polarization and choosing
- the Intermediate Frequency IF) of the Low Noise Block Converter Feed
- Horn (LNBf). It supports the DiSEqC and V-SEC protocols. The DiSEqC
- (digital SEC) specification is available at
- `Eutelsat <http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/4_5_5.html>`__.
