interface for digital television

# SYNOPSIS

`dtv* at dtvbus?`

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

# DESCRIPTION

The machine-independent `dtv` interface provides support for digital television (`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.
