 <para>Note that the DVB API may also be used for MPEG decoder-only PCI
 cards, in which case there exists no frontend device.</para>
 
+<para>There are two main ways of interacting with a frontend device:
+the v3 API, which comprises a set of 18 ioctls and which supports only
+DVB-T, DVB-C and DVB-S, and the v5 API (previously known as S2API),
+which is only two ioctls, and can support any type of frontend device.
+These two APIs may be mixed if necessary. There are some operations
+which are only possible in one API or the other, but the v5 API is
+rapidly gaining the full feature set of the v3 API. It is recommended
+that the v5 API is used for new applications.</para>

+<para>This ioctl call sets properties on the frontend device.  This

+Currently, all properties are single 32-bit values, and should thus be
+set in the <code>dtv_property.u.data</code> element of the property.
