+Description
+===========
+
+All DVB frontend devices support the ``FE_SET_PROPERTY`` and
+``FE_GET_PROPERTY`` ioctls. The supported properties and statistics
+depends on the delivery system and on the device:
+
+-  ``FE_SET_PROPERTY:``
+
+   -  This ioctl is used to set one or more frontend properties.
+
+   -  This is the basic command to request the frontend to tune into
+      some frequency and to start decoding the digital TV signal.
+
+   -  This call requires read/write access to the device.
+
+   -  At return, the values are updated to reflect the actual parameters
+      used.
+
+-  ``FE_GET_PROPERTY:``
+
+   -  This ioctl is used to get properties and statistics from the
+      frontend.
+
+   -  No properties are changed, and statistics aren't reset.
+
+   -  This call only requires read-only access to the device.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
