Input dvb_device

The input dvb_device will read packets from a DVB interface.
This input is mainly used for devices with proprietary driver which do support calls to the DVB interface for tuning.
IMPORTANT : Since no calls to the DVB API will be made for tuning, you must setup the device yourself to lock on the right frequency.

Parameters :

Name	Default value	Description
device	/dev/dvb/adapterX/dvrY	Specify the DVR interface of the DVB device you want to use.
filter_null_pid	yes	Enable filtering of the MPEG NULL PID. When this is enabled, mpeg packets with the PID 0x1FFF will not be read.
