33Description
34===========
35
36Some receivers are equipped with special wide band receiver which is
37intended to be used to learn output of existing remote. This ioctl
38allows enabling or disabling it.
39
40This might be useful of receivers that have otherwise narrow band receiver
41that prevents them to be used with some remotes. Wide band receiver might
42also be more precise. On the other hand its disadvantage it usually
43reduced range of reception.
44
45.. note:: Wide band receiver might be implictly enabled if you enable
46 carrier reports. In that case it will be disabled as soon as you disable
47 carrier reports. Trying to disable wide band receiver while carrier
48 reports are active will do nothing.
