| 9 | ######################## |
| 10 | |
| 11 | .. note:: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | This API is also known as Linux **DVB API**. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | It it was originally written to support the European digital TV |
| 16 | standard (DVB), and later extended to support all digital TV standards. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | In order to avoid confusion, within this document, it was opted to refer to |
| 19 | it, and to associated hardware as **Digital TV**. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | The word **DVB** is reserved to be used for: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - the Digital TV API version |
| 24 | (e. g. DVB API version 3 or DVB API version 5); |
| 25 | - digital TV data types (enums, structs, defines, etc); |
| 26 | - digital TV device nodes (``/dev/dvb/...``); |
| 27 | - the European DVB standard. |
