+DVB Frontend API
+################
+The DVB frontend API was designed to support three types of delivery
+systems:
+
+- 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), ISDB-C
+
+- Satellite systems: DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB Turbo, ISDB-S, DSS
+
+The DVB frontend controls several sub-devices including:
+
+- Tuner
+
+- Digital TV demodulator
+
+- Low noise amplifier (LNA)
+
+- Satellite Equipment Control (SEC) hardware (only for Satellite).
+
+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) is not yet handled by this
+API but a future extension is possible.
+
+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>`__.
