I'm curious why you're interested in DVB at all. Online video and 
various OTT streaming services are killing off these protocols in 
most of the world. Why do you want to access them with D?

Online and streaming requires large bandwidth and no metering.

Freeview is going strong.

I have many DVB-T2 USB devices.

I need to watch television on my laptop during Autumn Internationals and Si=
x
Nations, why pay for streaming when you can get stuff free.  ITV requires
Flash to watch television via the Internet at least BBC jut used HTML5.

Linux DVB API is used in most televisions. Often using GStreamer. It is not
dead. They are switching from C to Rust it seems.

C sucks for anything like this, anyone using C for this is suffering Stockh=
olm
Syndrome.

Rust works well for this stuff, except MPEG-TS, I will have to write the Ru=
st
binding, but it's not that bad due to GIR.=20

D has bindings for all this including MPEG-TS.

This is all a straight comparison between D which is great, but sucks, vers=
us
Rust which is irritating in places but generally works very well. I just wa=
nt
D to be better than it is for this stuff.

I am retired, I need something to keep me amused on the road to being an ex=
-
person.
