......... I always found Prog particularly buggy so switched to Dream, while it's not perfect it's a lot more stable using some carefully selected codecs although weak pixellating signals can still make it hang.
Almost a mirror comment here with the 5925 USB and found that the prog dvb tbs edition out of the box did not run well.
When I switched to the paid version of DVB Dream 2.4b, using Raw Diseqc del Motor rather than USALS, most of the existing probs disappeared thankfully.
Selected ffdshow and elecard codecs perform nicely but as you say re:- 'weak pixellating signals can still make it hang'.........I try to open a strong signal channel before moving on 'Tune', full scan or before switching to other related progs ie: EBSPro blindscan, 4T2 Content Analyser etc etc.
Also like with DVB Dream the 'Positioner' option, hardware and software appear to like each other!........all in all very satisfied.
Also found that by reading the related threads here, TBS, Ricks etc have managed by trial and error to arrive at a decent performing piece of hardware.
Anyway, best of luck to the OP with this and hope all enjoy their weekend.........UK weather sounds a wee bit better at the mo and guess that helps the hobby.
