What is DVBStreamExplorer?

DVBStreamExplorer is an MPEG2/DVB Transport Stream Analyzer application. It reads a DVB transport stream, scans it and display stream information, such as headers, sections and descriptors, in an Explorer-like tree view. The transport stream can be obtained either from file or directly from a DVB device plugged into your computer (e.g. PCI or USB).

Aimed for the professional, hobbyist or student alike, DVBStreamExplorer can be used to analyze and troubleshoot a DVB Transport Stream, or simply to learn how the technology works.

What are the requirements?

  • Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.

Unless you will be working just with Transport Stream files (offline mode), you will also need:

  • DirectX 9 or later;
  • A DVB device: PCI/USB, satellite, cable or terrestrial tuner.

Your device driver must support the BDA interface (Microsoft TV Technology), which provides the communication mechanism between DVBStreamExplorer and the device. Most modern digital TV devices support this, but check with your product's specification. TechniSat SkyStar 2 and the DekTec family of devices are also supported (even though they do not provide a BDA driver).
