Digital TV Deprecated APIs

***************************



The APIs described here are kept only for historical reasons. There's

just one driver for a very legacy hardware that uses this API. No modern

drivers should use it. Instead, audio and video should be using the V4L2

and ALSA APIs, and the pipelines should be set using the Media

Controller API

The APIs described here **should not** be used on new drivers or applications.



.. note::

The DVBv3 frontend API has issues with new delivery systems, including

DVB-S2, DVB-T2, ISDB, etc.

   The APIs described here doesn't necessarily reflect the current

   code implementation.

   for DVB version 1, while the code reflects DVB version 3
