ProgDVB allows you to watch SAT-Television and listen to Radio channels directly from satellite by using DVB-PCI cards with hardware decoders on the board, SAT-dish, and personal x86-compatible computers with Microsoft Windows installed. It has options for working with network broadcasting and Audio/Video recording of the stream to different digital-media formats.

It used to be one of the best if not the best program for watching digital TV. Not anymore.
1. it was written about problematic support for Twinhan cards. It is not limited to this company only, ProgDVB has severe problems with many tuners, esp. USB tuners
2. DVB-T http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-T support is poor, almost nonexistent.
3. the freeware status of the application is illusory since many countries utlilize MPEG-4 codec (both DVB-S and DVB-T) which in NOT supported in the freeware version of the program.It is supported in the paid version. The freeware version supports obsolete MPEG-2 only.
If you want to watch H.264 DVB-T better use Mirillis Splash Player Lite http://www.mirillis.com/splash.html which supports both H.264 and DVB-T (will support American ATSC-T soon) out of the box.

This is quite literally the only program seems to recognize the digital side of my hybrid AVerTV ExpressCard tuner that I got with a Dell laptop purchase. I don't know what exactly they're doing that nobody else can seem to achieve. When this program works properly it simply has no peer, however it does seem to crash on occasion. Thankfully no blue screen, the program just vaporizes. Once stability is increased a bit, this will be an easy 5 star.
