NAME

     dtv -- interface for digital television


SYNOPSIS

     dtv* at dtvbus?

     #include <dev/dtv/dtvio.h>
     #include <dev/dtv/dtvio_demux.h>
     #include <dev/dtv/dtvio_frontend.h>


DESCRIPTION

     The machine-independent dtv interface provides support for digital tele-
     vision (DTV).  A subset of the Linux Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB)
     APIs is supported.  In particular, dtv provides the DVB frontend and
     demodulator APIs.


SUPPORTED DEVICES

     The following machine-independent devices are supported:

           auvitek(4)   Auvitek AU0828-based video capture cards

           emdtv(4)     EM28XX-based DTV cards

     Note that the dtv device drivers are generally only available as kernel
     modules; see module(7) and modload(8) for additional details.  Refer to
     dtviic(4) for details about the supported demodulators and tuners.
