DVBViewer not the same software as DVBLink
Note! For DVBLink please see the "PVR/Backend/DVBLink" article instead.

There have to be some confusion between "DVBViewer" and "DVBLink" PVR clients for XBMC/Kodi, and some people seem to think that they are the same PVR backend software, but DVBViewer software is made by CM&V Hackbart which is not the same software as DVBLink, made by DVBLogic.
