# DESCRIPTION

The machine-independent dtv interface provides support for digital television (DTV). A subset of the Linux Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) APIs is supported. In particular, dtv provides the DVB frontend and demodulator APIs.

# SUPPORTED DEVICES

The following machine-independent devices are supported:

auvitek(4)
  Auvitek AU0828-based video capture cards
emdtv(4)
  EM28XX-based DTV cards

Note that the dtv device drivers are generally only available as kernel modules; see module(7) and modload(8) for additional details. Refer to dtviic(4) for details about the supported demodulators and tuners.
