-Digital TV Video Device
-#######################
-
-The Digital TV video device controls the MPEG2 video decoder of the Digital
-TV hardware. It can be accessed through **/dev/dvb/adapter0/video0**. Data
-types and ioctl definitions can be accessed by including
-**linux/dvb/video.h** in your application.
-
-Note that the Digital TV video device only controls decoding of the MPEG video
-stream, not its presentation on the TV or computer screen. On PCs this
-is typically handled by an associated video4linux device, e.g.
-**/dev/video**, which allows scaling and defining output windows.
-
-Some Digital TV cards don’t have their own MPEG decoder, which results in the
-omission of the audio and video device as well as the video4linux
-device.
-
-The ioctls that deal with SPUs (sub picture units) and navigation
-packets are only supported on some MPEG decoders made for DVD playback.
-
-These ioctls were also used by V4L2 to control MPEG decoders implemented
-in V4L2. The use of these ioctls for that purpose has been made obsolete
-and proper V4L2 ioctls or controls have been created to replace that
-functionality.
