+DVB Video Device
+################
+The DVB video device controls the MPEG2 video decoder of the DVB
+hardware. It can be accessed through **/dev/dvb/adapter0/video0**. Data
+types and and ioctl definitions can be accessed by including
+**linux/dvb/video.h** in your application.
+
+Note that the DVB video device only controls decoding of the MPEG video
+stream, not its presentation on the TV or computer screen. On PCs this
+is typically handled by an associated video4linux device, e.g.
+**/dev/video**, which allows scaling and defining output windows.
+
+Some DVB cards don’t have their own MPEG decoder, which results in the
+omission of the audio and video device as well as the video4linux
+device.
+
+The ioctls that deal with SPUs (sub picture units) and navigation
+packets are only supported on some MPEG decoders made for DVD playback.
+
+These ioctls were also used by V4L2 to control MPEG decoders implemented
+in V4L2. The use of these ioctls for that purpose has been made obsolete
+and proper V4L2 ioctls or controls have been created to replace that
+functionality.
