+ help
+ Dvbsnoop is just a simple tool to analyze, view or debug a transport
+ stream (TS), program elementary stream (PES) or even a program stream
+ (PS). Dvbsnoop is trying to get input mostly direct from a frontend
+ (satellite or cable tuner inside a set-top box for example) via DVB
+ APIv3 to view into a TS, or a demux to view PES or PS (also mostly
+ inside the set-top box or even PCI Card or USB Plug) but also from a
+ file (recorded TS).
+ Dvbsnoop is working well on SD transport streams but may have some
+ limited functionality on HD transport streams (DVB-{C,S,T}2 because
+ of missing knowledge how to handle it.
+
+ Dvbsnoop itself doesn't do the tuning on the frontend, this has to be
+ done by external helpers or manually driver call.
+ The dvbsnoop tool was written while developing the software Neutrino
+ on the set-top box DBox2.
