+<title>DVB Frontend API</title>

+<para>The DVB frontend device controls the tuner and DVB demodulator
+hardware. It can be accessed through <emphasis
+role="tt">/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0</emphasis>. Data types and and
+ioctl definitions can be accessed by including <emphasis
+role="tt">linux/dvb/frontend.h</emphasis> in your application.</para>
+
+<para>DVB frontends come in three varieties: DVB-S (satellite), DVB-C
+(cable) and DVB-T (terrestrial). Transmission via the internet (DVB-IP)
+is not yet handled by this API but a future extension is possible. For
+DVB-S the frontend device also supports satellite equipment control
+(SEC) via DiSEqC and V-SEC protocols. The DiSEqC (digital SEC)
+specification is available from
+<ulink url="http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/4_5_5.html">Eutelsat</ulink>.</para>
+
+<para>Note that the DVB API may also be used for MPEG decoder-only PCI
+cards, in which case there exists no frontend device.</para>

+<para>In a system with multiple front-ends, it is usually the case that multiple devices
