DVB stands for Digital Video Broadcasting. It is a standard for broadcasting
multiplexed data/audio/video content, typically over a satellite, cable
or terrestrial transmission medium. More information can be found at
www.dvb.org. MPEG 2 system streams are involved, much like VoD efforts
involving ATM, another spare time interest of mine...
Most of the IP-over-Satellite offerings we're seeing now use DVB.
My interest in DVB is two-fold:
1) to potentially provide FreeBSD-based solutions for open satellite
broadband access;
2) to potentially endow FreeBSD with the capability to process multimedia
streams using DVB as a source. Whilst I'd like to be able to watch
digital satellite broadcasts on one of my FreeBSD workstations, I'd also
like to do a bit more than that.
