I`m old timer in pc sat. world , and I try all this players even some others players like Winstab and major dvb etc. Still no answer on question which one is the best, cause real question is which one is better for you and that's depends on what you gonna do with player like: scanning, recording, watching, off-line down. or using different plugins and all kinds of supports etc & etc, I mean the one who will do ok in that what you doing with it is the best player for you...
