+Part II - Digital TV API
+########################
+
+.. note::
+
+   This API is also known as Linux **DVB API**.
+
+   It it was originally written to support the European digital TV
+   standard (DVB), and later extended to support all digital TV standards.
+
+   In order to avoid confusion, within this document, it was opted to refer to
+   it, and to associated hardware as **Digital TV**.
+
+   The word **DVB** is reserved to be used for:
+
+     - the Digital TV API version
+       (e. g. DVB API version 3 or DVB API version 5);
+     - digital TV data types (enums, structs, defines, etc);
+     - digital TV device nodes (``/dev/dvb/...``);
+     - the European DVB standard.
