   2 <title>DVB Frontend properties</title>
   3 <para>Tuning into a Digital TV physical channel and starting decoding it
   4     requires changing a set of parameters, in order to control the
   5     tuner, the demodulator, the Linear Low-noise Amplifier (LNA) and to set the
   6     antenna subsystem via Satellite Equipment Control (SEC), on satellite
   7     systems. The actual parameters are specific to each particular digital
   8     TV standards, and may change as the digital TV specs evolves.</para>
   9 <para>In the past, the strategy used was to have a union with the parameters
  10     needed to tune for DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T and ATSC delivery systems grouped
  11     there. The problem is that, as the second generation standards appeared,
  12     those structs were not big enough to contain the additional parameters.
  13     Also, the union didn't have any space left to be expanded without breaking
  14     userspace. So, the decision was to deprecate the legacy union/struct based
  15     approach, in favor of a properties set approach.</para>
  16
  17 <para>NOTE: on Linux DVB API version 3, setting a frontend were done via
  18     <link linkend="dvb-frontend-parameters">struct  <constant>dvb_frontend_parameters</constant></link>.
  19     This got replaced on version 5 (also called "S2API", as this API were
  20     added originally_enabled to provide support for DVB-S2), because the old
  21     API has a very limited support to new standards and new hardware. This
  22     section describes the new and recommended way to set the frontend, with
  23     suppports all digital TV delivery systems.</para>
  24
  25 <para>Example: with the properties based approach, in order to set the tuner
  26     to a DVB-C channel at 651 kHz, modulated with 256-QAM, FEC 3/4 and symbol
  27     rate of 5.217 Mbauds, those properties should be sent to
