Fields

Default = 0

Default tuner mode, typically determined by the tuner hardware or driver.

This value indicates that no specific mode is selected, allowing the tuner to use its default or automatic mode selection.

TV = 1

Analog or digital television reception mode.

Enables the tuner to receive standard television broadcasts. This includes both analog TV signals (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) and digital TV signals, depending on the tuner's capabilities.

FMRadio = 2

FM (Frequency Modulation) radio reception mode.

Configures the tuner to receive FM radio broadcasts, typically in the 88-108 MHz frequency band. FM radio provides higher quality audio compared to AM radio.

AMRadio = 4

AM (Amplitude Modulation) radio reception mode.

Configures the tuner to receive AM radio broadcasts, typically in the 530-1700 kHz frequency band. AM radio has longer range but lower audio quality compared to FM.

Dss = 8

Digital Satellite System reception mode.

Enables reception of digital satellite broadcasts. DSS is a proprietary digital satellite television broadcasting system used primarily in North America. This mode requires appropriate satellite reception equipment.

DTV = 16

Digital Television reception mode.

Remarks

This enumeration represents the different signal types and broadcasting standards that a TV tuner can receive and process. Modern TV tuners often support multiple modes, allowing them to receive various types of broadcasts including television, radio, and digital signals.

The FlagsAttribute allows multiple modes to be combined, indicating that a tuner supports multiple reception modes or that multiple modes should be scanned during channel searches.

The actual modes available depend on the specific tuner hardware and the broadcasting standards in use in the geographical region where the tuner is operating.
