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.
