+Linux Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) subsystem
+=============================================

+The main development site and CVS repository for these
+drivers is http://linuxtv.org/.
+
+The developer mailing list linux-dvb is also hosted there,

+API documentation, utilities and test/example programs
+are available as part of the old driver package for Linux 2.4

+been done yet.
