NAME
    Linux::DVB - interface to (some parts of) the Linux DVB API

SYNOPSIS
     use Linux::DVB;

DESCRIPTION
    This module provides an interface to the Linux DVB API. It is a
    straightforward translation of the C API. You should read the Linux DVB
    API description to make any sense of this module. It can be found here:

       http://www.linuxtv.org/developer/dvbapi.xml

    All constants from frontend.h and demux.h are exported by their C name
    and by default.

    Noteworthy differences to the C API: unions and sub-structs are usually
    translated into flat perl hashes, i.e "struct.u.qam.symbol_rate" becomes
    "$struct->{symbol_rate}".

    Noteworthy limitations of this module include: no way to set the
    frequency or diseqc. No interface to the video, audio and net devices.
    If you need this functionality bug the author.

Linux::DVB::Frontend CLASS
  SYNOPSIS
     my $fe = new Linux::DVB::Frontend $path, $writable;

     my $fe = new Linux::DVB::Frontend
                 "/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0", 1;

     $fe->fh; # filehandle
     $fe->fd; # fileno
     $fe->blocking (0); # or 1

     $fe->{name}
     $fe->{type}
     $fe->frontend_info->{name}

     $fe->status & FE_HAS_LOCK
     print $fe->ber, $fe->snr, $fe->signal_strength, $fe->uncorrected;

     my $tune = $fe->parameters;
     $tune->{frequency};
     $tune->{symbol_rate};

Linux::DVB::Demux CLASS
  SYNOPSIS
     my $dmx = new Linux::DVB::Demux
                 "/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0";

     $fe->fh; # filehandle
     $fe->fd; # fileno
     $fe->blocking (1); # non-blocking is default

     $dmx->buffer (16384);
     $dmx->sct_filter ($pid, "filter", "mask", $timeout=0, $flags=DMX_CHECK_CRC);
     $dmx->pes_filter ($pid, $input, $output, $type, $flags=0);
     $dmx->start; 
     $dmx->stop;
