+dvbsnoop is a DVB / MPEG stream analyzer program, which enables you to
+watch (live) stream information in human readable form.
+
+Its purpose is to debug, dump or view digital stream information
+(e.g. digital television broadcasts) send via satellite, cable or
+terrestrial. Streams can be SI, PES or TS. Basically you can describe
+dvbsnoop as a "swiss army knife" analyzing program for DVB, MHP, DSM-CC
+or MPEG - similar to TCP network sniffer programs like the old and famous
+snoop on Sun Solaris or tcpdump on Linux (which is in fact a kind of
+a clone of SunOS 'snoop'). You may also analyze offline mpeg streams,
+e.g. stored on DVD or mpeg2 movie files.
+
+dvbsnoop is a command line based program. It's text output can be used
+to for postprocessing via scripts or graphical analysis software like
+MRTG or gnu-plot.
