  1032. <para>This ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb API extension should reflect all information
  1033. needed to tune any ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb hardware. Of course it is possible
  1034. that some very sophisticated devices won't need certain parameters to
  1035. tune.</para>

  1046. <para>In order to understand the ISDB specific parameters,
  1047. one has to have some knowledge the channel structure in
  1048. ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb. I.e. it has to be known to
  1049. the reader that an ISDB-T channel consists of 13 segments,
  1050. that it can have up to 3 layer sharing those segments,
