TIF Extension for DVB Scanning Feature


In cooperation with the major European network operator, we extended TIF to support DVB scanning. Currently the Android TV Input Framework (TIF) does not support a dedicated API for DVB channel scanning. In cooperation with the major European network operator, we extended TIF to support DVB scanning. The proposed API fulfils all Android design rules used for other TIF APIs. We implemented a prototype for testing this new feature on a Broadcom 7252S platform. With this extension we created an Android application that uses this new Java based API to realise a DVB channel scan.
