 Digital TV (DVB) devices
 ------------------------
 
+Digital TV devices are implemented by several different drivers:
+
+- A bridge driver that is responsible to talk with the bus where the other
+  devices are connected (PCI, USB, SPI), bind to the other drivers and
+  implement the digital demux logic (either in software or in hardware);
+
+- Frontend drivers that are usually implemented as two separate drivers:
+
+  - A tuner driver that implements the logic with commands the part of the
+    hardware with is reponsible to tune into a digital TV transponder or
+    physical channel. The output of a tuner is usually a baseband or
+    Intermediate Frequency (IF) signal;
+
+  - A demodulator driver (a.k.a "demod") that implements the logic with
+    commands the digital TV decoding hardware. The output of a demod is
+    a digital stream, with multiple audio, video and data channels typically
+    multiplexed using MPEG Transport Stream [#f1]_.
+
+On most hardware, the frontend drivers talk with the bridge driver using an
+I2C bus.
+
+.. [#f1] Some standards use TCP/IP for multiplexing data, like DVB-H (an
+   abandoned standard, not used anymore) and ATSC version 3.0 current
+   proposals. Currently, the DVB subsystem doesn't implement those standards.
