Multiproto is a proposal for version 3.3 of the linux DVB API which includes extensions for cards which support multiple DVB protocols (DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-H, ATSC, DSS).
It is an experimental project and is not currently implemented in any released version of Linux. No firm plan has been made for its inclusion in Linux.
