-linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.1
+linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.?
======================
-Linux DVB API test/demo applications and utilities.
+Linux DVB API applications and utilities.
-You find a README in each subdirectory explaining what the code there does.
-For beginners utils/szap/ and utils/scan/ are probably most useful.
+All applications support the DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T, and ATSC standards.
-For convenience, dvb-apps contains a copy of the DVB API include
-files as they are contained in the linuxtv-dvb-1.1.0 realease
-and the 2.6.x Linux kernel. However, since the DVB API hasn't changed,
-the apps will still work with the old "DVB" drivers, should you decide not
-to use linuxtv-dvb-1.1.0 (or the dvb-kernel CVS).
+Main User Applications:
+util/scan - Scan for channels on your digital TV device.
+util/gnutv - Tune, watch and stream your TV.
+General Utilities:
+util/dvbdate - Set your clock from digital TV.
+util/dvbnet - Control digital data network interfaces.
+util/dvbtraffic - Monitor traffic on a digital device.
+util/femon - Monitor the tuning on a digital TV device.
+util/zap - *Just* tunes a digital device - really intended for developers.
-Historical note:
-The apps have been copied from the "DVB" CVS tree, which means that
-the stuff in "DVB" is now unmaintained and out of date.
+Hardware Specific Utilities:
+util/av7110_loadkeys - Load remote keys into an av7110 based card
+util/dib3000-watch - Monitor DIB3000 demodulators
+util/dst-utils - Utilities for DST based cards.
+util/ttusb_dec_reset - Reset a TechnoTrends TTUSB DEC device.
+Libraries:
+lib/libdvbapi - Interface library to digital TV devices.
+lib/libdvbcfg - Library to parse/create digital TV channel configuration files.
+lib/libdvbsec - Library for Satellite Equipment Control operations.
+lib/libucsi - Fast MPEG2 Transport Stream SI table parsing library.
+lib/libdvben50221- Complete implementation of a Cenelec EN 50221 CAM stack.
+lib/libdvbmisc - Miscellaneous utilities used by the other libraries.
-Johannes Stezenbach <js@convergence.de>
+Various testing applications also live in test.
-This is an interim point release adding support for ATSC to the 1.1.0 release.
-dvb-apps is currently being rewritten completely with new standardised DVB
-libraries for all aspects of DVB, ca support etc, so expect a 1.2.0 release
-at some point soon.
+For convenience, dvb-apps contains a copy of the DVB API include
+files as they are contained in the linuxtv-dvb-1.? release
+and the 2.6.x Linux kernel.
