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, and some people seem to think that they are the same PVR backend software, but DVBViewer software is made by CMUV which is not the same software as DVBLink, made by DVBLogic.
