Anyway, the DVB API were just added to the repository with all the CVS history. > Run 'make spec' to build both the v4l2-spec and the dvb-spec, or > run 'make -C dvb-spec' to build only the latter.

We're currently using V3 + S2API. This is named as V5. We need, of course, to update the docs to rename it to Version 5 and add S2API specs there. We should also review if the current DVB core and drivers match the V3.
