| 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. | |
