+ FRONTEND=/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
+ DEMUX=/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
+ DVR=/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
+ AUDIO=/dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0
+ VIDEO=/dev/dvb/adapter0/video0
+ NET=/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0
+

+diseqc : Send various diseqc sequences on a SAT frontend.
+ Best used with a diseqc test box with some LEDs to
+ show the result of the commands.
+set22k : Legacy tone switching for SAT frontends.
+setvoltage : Legacy voltage switching for SAT frontends.
+
+setpid : Set video and audio PIDs in the demux; useful only
+ if you have a hardware MPEG decoder.

+ iframes can be created with the 'convert' tool from
+ imagemagick and mpeg2encode from ftp.mpeg.org, and must

+ ($ convert -sample 702x576\! test.jpg test.mpg)
