    If you want to spend 60 US dollars for Chris TV Pro, that's Ok because it is a top quality product with more features than most will ever use. But on the other hand, either the KM Player or BS Player may meet your needs for a TV player as well as both being full featured multi-media centers. I can't speak for DScaler since it's not compatible with my tuner card. As for K!TV, it's obsolete.

    "some guy" you should check their support forum ( http://forum.chris-tv.com ), your TV card should work without problems with ChrisTV PVR.

    Great application, obviously deserves 5/5, however I switched to DScaler and it fits my needs perfectly and it's open-source!

    This program is good... but if you want all the feature you have to pay and it's quite expensive comparing to other apps of the same kind.

    I'm not telling that the author "have to eat" as it is said on an other review but its attitude was bad.

    As I previously said, the author used people to test its app and to translate it but its attitude was bad when it come to paid versions...

    I'll stick to K!Tv wich is Open Source and does what I need. Furthermore K!Tv is being totally rewrited and the future version will be a blast ;)

    Anyway this is a good program.. if you can afford it... (about 40€ or 50$ for the Pro version)

    Uses very low CPU resources on a cheapy TV card. Was using K!TV which used around 60% CPU whereas this is only using 16%.
