DigiTV Transport Stream Capture and Streaming Tool
This tool is mainly of use to TV Stations and STB manufacturers who are using DigiTV for transport stream capturing for subsequent
offline stream analysis, but can also be a quick and handy tool for testing signal strength and quality (SNR) for various channels
(useful if they are missed in DigiTV's channel scan if the SNR is too low).
It also has the ability to stream the full transport stream from a device out over the network using UDP, allowing the stream to be sent
to a suitable application (eg VLC, TSReader with UDP Source selected) either on the local machine or a remote one.
It works correctly with all variations of the DigiTV hardware (PCI, USB, Nxt6000, MT352), using their standard WDM drivers.
It ensures that the first TS packet in each recording file is the MPEG2 PAT packet - so that the recordings play nicely with TS analysis
tools such as the latest version of TSReader, and it auto-increments a numeric suffix on each recording file to make multiple captures
slightly easier.

XMLTV2DigiTV
This tool may be used to convert an XMTLV EPG data file into a set of DigiTV compatible EPG data files.
It can be used, for example, to take IceTV IceGuide EPG data in XMLTV format, and convert it into DigTV format, for people who like to download
data from IceTV in XMLTV format so they can feed it into other devices in addition to DigiTV (eg a Topfield PVR).

DigiTV Shared Memory Viewer
DigiTV's Shared Memory Interface (SMI) provides information about the internal state of DigiTV, and is useful for developers looking to integrate DigiTV with external applications, such
as one that displays current channel or program information on the front panel of a HTPC case.
This is a simple GUI tool that may be useful as a test tool for developers who are writing an application that reads and uses the data in the
DigiTV SMI.
This tool works best with DigiTV v3.7 or later.
