11*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe DVBv3 frontend API has issues with new delivery systems, including
12*4882a593SmuzhiyunDVB-S2, DVB-T2, ISDB, etc.
13*4882a593Smuzhiyun
14*4882a593SmuzhiyunThere's just one driver for a very legacy hardware using the Digital TV
15*4882a593Smuzhiyunaudio and video APIs. No modern drivers should use it. Instead, audio and
16*4882a593Smuzhiyunvideo should be using the V4L2 and ALSA APIs, and the pipelines should
17*4882a593Smuzhiyunbe set via the Media Controller API.
