DVBViewer: A Windows-based software for digital television reception. It supports DVB files and allows you to watch, timeshift, and record live TV broadcasts.
Hardware devices: Some devices, such as satellite receivers and set-top boxes, are specifically designed for digital television broadcasting and can support DVB files.

These files are used by the popular CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, AutoCAD, developed by Autodesk. AutoCAD DVB files often contain automated tasks, such as creating geometry, modifying objects, and generating reports. In this context, DVB stands for Drawing for Visual Basic, as these files are based on Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language.
