+Description
+-----------
+
+This ioctl is for Digital TV devices only. This ioctl was also supported by the
+V4L2 ivtv driver, but that has been replaced by the ivtv-specific
+``IVTV_IOC_PASSTHROUGH_MODE`` ioctl.
+
+This ioctl call informs the video device which source shall be used for
+the input data. The possible sources are demux or memory. If memory is
+selected, the data is fed to the video device through the write command.
+
+.. c:type:: video_stream_source_t
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	typedef enum {
+		VIDEO_SOURCE_DEMUX, /* Select the demux as the main source */
+		VIDEO_SOURCE_MEMORY /* If this source is selected, the stream
+				comes from the user through the write
+				system call */
+	} video_stream_source_t;
+
+Return Value
+------------
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
