[media] DocBook/frontend.xml: Recomend the usage of the new API
The old way of setting delivery system parameters were to use an union with specific per-system parameters. However, as newer delivery systems required more data, the structure size weren't enough to fit. So, recomend using the DVBS2API instead. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

<para>The struct <constant>dvb_frontend_parameters</constant> uses an

union with specific per-system parameters. However, as newer delivery systems

required more data, the structure size weren't enough to fit, and just

extending its size would break the existing applications. So, those parameters
|
||||
were replaced by the usage of <link linkend="FE_GET_SET_PROPERTY">
|
||||
<constant>FE_GET_PROPERTY/FE_SET_PROPERTY</constant></link> ioctl's. The
|

new API is flexible enough to add new parameters to existing delivery systems,

and to add newer delivery systems.</para>

<para>So, newer applications should use <link linkend="FE_GET_SET_PROPERTY">

<constant>FE_GET_PROPERTY/FE_SET_PROPERTY</constant></link> instead, in

order to be able to support the newer System Delivery like DVB-S2, DVB-T2,

DVB-C2, ISDB, etc.</para>
