+	<para>This section describes shortly what are the possible parameters in the Linux
+		DVB-API called "S2API" and now DVB API 5 in order to tune an ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb
+		demodulator:</para>
+
+	<para>This ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb API extension should reflect all information
+		needed to tune any ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb hardware. Of course it is possible
+		that some very sophisticated devices won't need certain parameters to
+		tune.</para>
+
+	<para>The information given here should help application writers to know how
+		to handle ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb hardware using the Linux DVB-API.</para>
+
+	<para>The details given here about ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb are just enough to
+		basically show the dependencies between the needed parameter values,
+		but surely some information is left out. For more detailed information
+		see the following documents:</para>
+
+	<para>ARIB STD-B31 - "Transmission System for Digital Terrestrial
+		Television Broadcasting" and</para>
+	<para>ARIB TR-B14 - "Operational Guidelines for Digital Terrestrial
+		Television Broadcasting".</para>
+
+	<para>In order to read this document one has to have some knowledge the
+		channel structure in ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb. I.e. it has to be known to
+		the reader that an ISDB-T channel consists of 13 segments, that it can
+		have up to 3 layer sharing those segments, and things like that.</para>

+				bandwidth available.</para>
+
+			<para>Example: Assume 8 ISDB-Tsb connected segments are broadcasted. The
+				broadcaster has several possibilities to put those channels in the
+				air: Assuming a normal 13-segment ISDB-T spectrum he can align the 8
+				segments from position 1-8 to 5-13 or anything in between.</para>
+
+			<para>The underlying layer of segments are subchannels: each segment is

+				is used to help the demodulator to synchronize on the channel.</para>
+

+				reason a ISDB-T demodulator has 3 viterbi and 3 reed-solomon-decoders.</para>
