Re: [tvcontrol-api] Why retrieve a list of tuners instead of just one tuner?

@JPEvain thanks for your comments

> Introducing the notion of IP multicast may lead to different APIs to
 resolve the list of TVChannels available from these different types 
of sources?

I would hope that the API is the same in each case.  We have 
getChannels() on the TVSource, although I do wonder whether this 
per-source separation of channels is really a good thing: many devices
 only present a unified channel list to the user, regardless of the 
source.  I'm not sure if that's something we need to consider now, or 
leave it until we've defined the basic shape of the API

> I would keep the definitions as generic as possible. The penultimate
 sentence looks like a repeat of what's being said in the second 
sentence. I would keep the last sentence of the definition of TVSource
 out.

Re-reading this, I agree.

> The definition of TVChannel -> DVB Service, ATSC??

It would be an ATSC Channel

> Mediastream (if we want to reuse definitions)

Yes, I think the area you highlight probably does need further 
discussion, although what is there is based on discussions from TPAC 
and is similar to the WebRTC model.

> TVProgram -> DVB Event -> ATSC??

It would be an ATSC Event.
