| Dvbsnoop is just a simple tool to analyze, view or debug a | |
| transport stream (TS), program elementary stream (PES) or even | |
| a program stream (PS). Dvbsnoop is trying to get input mostly | |
| direct from a frontend (satellite or cable tuner inside a | |
| set-top box for example) via DVB APIv3 to view into a TS, or a | |
| demux to view PES or PS (also mostly inside the set-top box or | |
| even PCI Card or USB Plug) but also from a file (recorded TS). | |
| Dvbsnoop is working well on SD transport streams but may have | |
| some limited functionality on HD transport streams | |
| (DVB-{C,S,T}2 because of missing knowledge how to handle it. | |
| Dvbsnoop itself doesn't do the tuning on the frontend, this | |
| has to be done by external helpers or manually driver call. | |
| The dvbsnoop tool was written while developing the software | |
| Neutrino on the set-top box DBox2. | |
