Subject: [PATCH v2 03/27] media: dvb/intro: use the term Digital TV to refer to the system
Date: Fri,  1 Sep 2017 10:24:25 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <afb6f526ea85004fc9368ce1ca38bc75e2408856.1504272067.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1504272067.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1504272067.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com>

On several places at the introduction, a digital TV board and its
kernel support is called as DVB. The reason is simple: by the
time the document was written, there were no other digital TV
standards :-)

Modernize the specs by referring to them as Digital TV.
