No Help files.Summary(Win XP Pro, SP2, P4 2ghz) This ProgDVB comes from Russia. I've used the previous version 5, which was very hit and miss, but this version 6 is just appalling. Constant crashes while I was trying to set it up for my Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T PCI TV card. Even when I managed to set it up and gather all my local DVB tv and radio stations, when I clicked on certain ones, some module inexplicably crashed, and after that the same thing happened with every channel I selected. A program restart was required to get it going again but the same problems re-occurred. This happened even after an uninstall, registry clear-out with CCleaner, and a reinstall. Also, It really needs a setup wizard to get it going for the un-initiated, and even the initiated who might forget. I suggested this to them via their website forum a long time ago but nothing came of it. Unfortunately, there is an element of techno-snobbery on the forum among many other users, they often like to talk in techno-babble wherever possible just to show how clever they are, which can often waste time in getting intelligible answers. Every time you want to find some info about features, you have to go searching through the website and forums. Very, very poor.Reply to this review Was this review helpful?

TV screen mode is adjustable so you can go either full screen or make a small one if you have to do something else. Picture is amazingly clear, and the audio is great. Easily configurable,ConsWhen you try to watch HD TV, you keep getting "Pin Error. Elecard_Audio_Decoder.In error no matter which setting you use. Will keep looking for a solution to it. There have been a few solutions posted, but the solutions cause other problems.Reply to this review Was this review helpful? (1) (0)From CNET.
