Watch high definition television from a satellite feed on from online sources.
ProgDVB is a comprehensive video and radio tuner for the PC. Not only does this application provide access to thousands (of rather mediocre) TV stations broadcast on the Internet, but it also does an excellent job at providing users the option of using their DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T, ATSC ad ISDB-T television streams.
Included with the support for digital and Internet streams of television and radio, ProgDVB also supports standard analog signals and can play video files.
Interestingly, ProgDVB is a completely free application. Unlike many proprietary programs which only work with one brand of tuner, ProgDVB provides functionality for a large list of them.
Some of the features of this tuner application include the ability to add new channels with plugins, recording playback to files, teletext and importing/exporting channel lists. One of the best features offered here is the timeshifting feature.
Overall, a powerful application available for free.
