430 bandwidth available.</para>
432 <para>Example: Assume 8 ISDB-Tsb connected segments are broadcasted. The
433 broadcaster has several possibilities to put those channels in the
434 air: Assuming a normal 13-segment ISDB-T spectrum he can align the 8
435 segments from position 1-8 to 5-13 or anything in between.</para>
437 <para>The underlying layer of segments are subchannels: each segment is
