About this file
===============

This file covers various topics relevant to Kaffeine development.

---------
dtvdaemon
---------

dtvdaemon is intended as a small, standalone daemon to communicate with the digital TV devices
(supported by linuxtv.org or other projects). It provides a convenience layer (channels, epg, etc)
and should only depend on QtCore and QtNetwork. Currently the focus lies on a local daemon, which
runs only on demand, but it should be easy to make it accessible through TCP/IP.

One advantage is the possibility to run multiple instances of Kaffeine at the same time. While
implementing it, enhancements (e.g. support for new delivery systems) are also tried to achieve.

DVB-T channel allocation
------------------------

Geneva 2006 Agreement (GE06) - http://www.itu.int/ITU-R/terrestrial/broadcast/plans/ge06/index.html

- VHF: channels  5 - 12 ; center frequency = 142.5 + 7 * channel number MHz ; bandwidth = 7 MHz
- UHF: channels 21 - 69 ; center frequency = 306   + 8 * channel number MHz ; bandwidth = 8 MHz

Australia: 177.5 - 226.5 and 529.5 (?) - 816.5 (?) MHz ; bandwidth = 7 MHz
Italy VHF band: 177.5, 186, 194.5, 203.5, 212.5, 219.5 and 226.5 MHz ; bandwidth = 7 or 8 (?) MHz
