DVBtune is a tuning application for DVB cards supported by the Linux
DVB driver.

The package includes two applications--dvbtune for command line tuning
of DVB cards and xml2vdr for converting dumped service information into
VDR's channels.conf format.

dvbtune has the option to dump the metadata from a DVB
transponder/multiplex into an XML file. This XML file is hopefully
self-explanatory and should be read in conjunction with the DVB-SI
standard (EN 300 468) available from www.etsi.org.

xml2vdr can convert this XML file into a "channels.conf" file suitable
for use with the VDR application.
