On <link linkend="FE_GET_PROPERTY">FE_GET_PROPERTY</link>/<link linkend="FE_SET_PROPERTY">FE_SET_PROPERTY</link>,
the actual action is determined by the dtv_property cmd/data pairs. With one single ioctl, is possible to
get/set up to 64 properties. The actual meaning of each property is described on the next sections.
