I'm trying to sort out what I think are atsc psip table problems. Will Tsreader lite give them to me or do I need to get one of the more advanced versions?

Also, a lot of the Tsreader supported hardware have system requirements beyond what my old pc has, but if I'm just using the hardware for tsreader input data and not to view/record tv programs, etc, will I be ok?

Thanks!

TSReader Lite should tell you everything you need to know.

I've used TSReader on computers that cannot decode HD streams with any success, so I think you'll be alright.

I use it a lot, so if you have any trouble, let me know.

Yep - I used TSReader (the cheaper of the two paid-for versions) to record 18Mbs H264 HD DVB-T OTA streams off-air on a Celeron 733MHz 256Mb RAM laptop with no problems - and there was no way it could decode those.

It's a fantastic bit of software.

I also use TSReader (Pro) daily.
Tuning/monitoring HD streams is no problem even on older systems, and is dependent on HDD performance (for recording) as all you're doing is saving a file. Decoding is where you need a newer system. You should be fine.
