libdvb (formerly dvb-mpegtools) contains three libraries with examples for their usage. libdvb is a library for switching channels using the Linux DVB API and keeping channel list for DVB-C, DVB-S and DVB-T. libdvbci is used for handling CI interfaces that are optional for some DVB cards. It is based on the CI handler of vdr. libdvbmpegtools and the dvb-mpegtools provide a library and various small programs helpful for converting, demuxing, changing, analyzing, and remuxing MPEG transport streams coming from DVB receiver cards. They mostly work on the PES level, but tools for manipulating elementary streams are also included. All those packages used to be included with the DVB driver.
