Right. Do you think we can generalize it to a DUMMY frontend where some fields are just queried ? If so it would be a matter of just defining a "dummy name" for the general category of headless devices where some statistics can be queried. Or do you think it would be right to have it called as DVB-ASI frontend itself ? (In my thoughts it would be incorrect probably to call it DVB-ASI, since DVB-ASI doesn't get specified as a delivery system as defined by a frontend, but just as a transport method only) But in that case each of those headless devices will need to have a specific name. Though not too many headless devices come to my mind though.
