		<para>A Multi standard frontend needs to advertise the delivery systems provided.

			provides more than a single delivery system, FE_GET_INFO doesn't help much.
			Applications which intends to use a multistandard frontend must enumerate
			the delivery systems associated with it, rather than trying to use
			FE_GET_INFO. In the case of a legacy frontend, the result is just the same
			as with FE_GET_INFO, but in a more structured format </para>

		<para>ARIB TR-B14 - "Operational Guidelines for Digital Terrestrial

		<para>In order to understand the ISDB specific parameters,
			one has to have some knowledge the channel structure in
			ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb. I.e. it has to be known to
			the reader that an ISDB-T channel consists of 13 segments,
			that it can have up to 3 layer sharing those segments,
