+<title>DVB Frontend properties</title>
+<para>Tuning into a Digital TV physical channel and starting decoding it
+ requires changing a set of parameters, in order to control the
+ tuner, the demodulator, the Linear Low-noise Amplifier (LNA) and to set the
+ antenna subsystem via Satellite Equipment Control (SEC), on satellite
+ systems. The actual parameters are specific to each particular digital
+ TV standards, and may change as the digital TV specs evolves.</para>
+<para>In the past, the strategy used was to have a union with the parameters
+ needed to tune for DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T and ATSC delivery systems grouped
+ there. The problem is that, as the second generation standards appeared,
+ those structs were not big enough to contain the additional parameters.
+ Also, the union didn't have any space left to be expanded without breaking
+ userspace. So, the decision was to deprecate the legacy union/struct based
+ approach, in favor of a properties set approach.</para>
+
+<para>NOTE: on Linux DVB API version 3, setting a frontend were done via
+ <link linkend="dvb-frontend-parameters">struct <constant>dvb_frontend_parameters</constant></link>.
+ This got replaced on version 5 (also called "S2API", as this API were
+ added originally_enabled to provide support for DVB-S2), because the old
+ API has a very limited support to new standards and new hardware. This
+ section describes the new and recommended way to set the frontend, with
+ suppports all digital TV delivery systems.</para>
+
+<para>Example: with the properties based approach, in order to set the tuner
+ to a DVB-C channel at 651 kHz, modulated with 256-QAM, FEC 3/4 and symbol
+ rate of 5.217 Mbauds, those properties should be sent to
