can't get program running.

[charles kuchar]

dvbdream.exe comes up and windows immediately stopped working and says it is checking for a solution. i had a problem getting it installed because i only bought it to view the dvr files i have saved from my pvr-800 receiver running my satellite antenna. i want to put the saved files on my laptop and play them for a woman from poland here in humphrey. charlie

i guess i should have not bought this program because my receiver is not listed in the compatible receiver list. oh well. all i wanted the program to do is view my recorded files on my laptop. please email me if my receiver is finally on the receiver list. thanks. charlie

you do not need DVB-s application to watch recordings.
You need a player.
There are plenty of free players to do that: Media Player Classic, VLC, etc.

windows 7 media player doesn't work but i will try to find media player classic. i don't know what vlc is but will check it out. i do know the dvr files from the pvr-800 receiver are in some form of a ts format. thanks for the help. charlie

vlc can be found here http://videolan.org/ and its opensource media player capable of plain ts streams shoud work with your recordings

i will check it out. there is a new version of the firmware for the receiver that has ps and ts files listed. however, after a while the receiver locks up and i went back to the firmware that has 'dvr' files. charlie

You can use pvastrumento http://offeryn.de/ it can be used to convert different flavours ofsat record files to plain ts or mpeg2 files not sure if its handling h264 at all if you record HD streams
