The era of digital television and radio may have passed its peak for younger audiences, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Among TV viewers, it's actually quite common to feel that there's hardly anything worth watching, and the same goes for radio listeners: aside from the overall quality of the content, your region and provider play a significant role.
ProgDVB Professional can help with that. It allows users to watch digital TV and listen to radio channels from around the world, with a wide selection of content whose variety is sure to appeal to a multitude of tastes.
A plug-and-play solution
The program is surprisingly easy to get started with. While there's a fair amount of configurability available for those who are interested, there's little need to configure anything for a casual user. The default settings work well, providing users with a wide range of channels they can tune into with a single click.
Some channels may buffer more than others, but during my testing, the experience remained fairly smooth throughout. Video quality is acceptable, but this can vary between channels. Note that if the default selection isn't to your liking, you can configure it via the Channel List menu or through the included ProgTV tool, which allows you to adjust your sources.
Some nice features you might want to know about:
As mentioned earlier, the solution is very plug-and-play, but that doesn't mean functionality is sacrificed. While tuning into a stream, you can right-click on the player to modify the video's aspect ratio and audio, as well as enable recording. An equalizer function is available, and you can also adjust color levels and codecs for video playback in the Options menu.
I also appreciated the ability to create favorite and grouped channels for convenience. Adding additional IPTV clients, as well as YouTube channels or playlists, is another notable possibility.
A complete solution for radio and television enthusiasts
ProgDVB Professional includes a wealth of tools to help both casual and experienced users get the most out of their digital television and radio, offering a wide selection of channels to enjoy.
