Hi!
I'm looking for software to watch HD channels from 28E. (Sky UK)
I'm trying almost all available software. ProgDVB would be best if....
(I use ProgDVB 5.16 trial and TT s2-3200 card with DBA driver, CPU AMD x2 5400+, video Nvidia 7300)
I fond 3 bugs and have some suggestion to improve this program.
Bug Nr1 - On encrypted channels on 28E (sky uk) ProgDVB found only CAID 0x960
(Chanel properties -> Conditional Access -> Column "Type") Other programs found also right CAID 0x961
Bug Nr.2 - When I switch to channel with ac3 sound (usually HD channels) almost every time channel start without sound, but picture is fine. If i press space bar twice (pause and resume channel) - this fix sound problem. I tried different ac3 codecs, but no effect. If ProgDVB start with ac3 channel - sound is fine. Bug only appear on channel cahnge.
Bug Nr.3 When i try to copy channel form one channel list tab to another and try to paste it on expanded folder - every time program stop responding, take 100% cpu power - only solution is kill process with task manager. (also default program priority is HIGH - is very hard to launch task manager when ProgDVB take all processor resources - my suggestion is change default priority to normal. In most cases it is enough for normal video playback and gantries system stability) This is very bad....
If you need additional information to reproduce and fix these bugs - i will provide any required information.
Now some suggestions / questions.
Would be nice to implement channel list filter (like in DVBDrem) This is relay nice and useful feature! (And i think - it is not very hard to implement)
Also I can't find any easy way to edit Channel list tabs. (I do it by editing channels.ini and copy/rename *.tree files, but i can't change tabs captions) I tried Chanel list editor, but seems like it don't work with 5.x channel lists....
Would be nice to implement video render options like in Media Player Classic Home Chinema edition. http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/
(Render in 2d and 3d surface, change resizer options. Also option to remove Tearing!!! MPC can render HD movies to full HD LCD without any problems (those advanced options help) but other programs without those options can't..... Sometimes there is delay on screen redraw - tearing. CPU usage is < 100% - this is not decoding problem)

Hi !!!
Is in this forum some from ProgDVB development to answer questions/fix bugs..... ???
I'm thinking of purchasing this soft, but if there is no support ...........
I found another bug - subtitles form SKY UK almost always is followed with some squares - possibly subtitles contains some unprintable characters. Also i can't find any possibility to change subtitles font,color and position.
