- All: Added support for the following TBS cards: 6504 (quad multi-tuner), 6522 (dual multi-tuner), 6528 (multi-tuner CI), 6590 (dual multi-tuner CI), 6903x (dual DVB-S/S2/S2X), 6904x (quad DVB-S/S2/S2X) and 6909x (octa DVB-S/S2/S2X)
- All: Updated the internal TSID table used for ATSC stations. Now includes the latest repack RF channels, Canadian and Mexican stations. Many thanks to the guys at RabbitEars for the data
- All: Moved a number of stream parser options from the Settings menu onto their own dialog as that menu was becoming too long
- Pro: Added column descriptions to the Log CC/TEI report and added milliseconds to the time written to the log
- Lite: The option to reset MPEG statistics (also triggered by the F6 key) now works
- Pro: Fixed an issue with the TSWatcher status pages and system-wide HTML page not showing thumbnails from single channel streams
- Pro: Added the ability to show thumbnails for single channel streams on top of the main TSWatcher window

Version 2.8 build 54
- Release Date: Mar 27, 2019
-
- Pro: The Stream Monitor window now displays the stream source data making multiple instances of the stream monitor easier to read
- Pro: Added the -A switch to TSWatcher to allow it to start automatically
- Pro: Changed TSWatcher to handle streams with more than 64 programs
- Pro: Added an alarm to TSWatcher to allow it to monitor the NULL (stuffing) data rate. Useful should the stream feeding a modulator stop
- All: Added a delay when switching mode on the TBS 5590 due to an error on some Windows 10 machines
- Pro: Fixed an issue with TSWatcher where some alarms wouldn't be written to the log file correctly

- All: Added support for the TBS-6205 quad tuner card in DVB-C, DVB-T/T2 and QAM-B (MCNS) modes
- All: Added support for the satellite XML list from SatBeams. Currently the satellites.xml needs to be downloaded from their website and then placed in the TSReader install folder manually. This will be automated in the future
- Std/Pro: Fixed an issue where the chroma and luma sampling data on H.265 video streams (HDR) didn't show correctly
- Pro: Changed the SCTE-35 processor to ignore the network type. This prevented SCTE-35 messages from being shown on some streams
- Pro: Added the —n switch to disable Stream Monitor logging
- Std/Pro: Updated the -c switch to allow the Control Server to listen only a specific interface
- Std/Pro: Added the —p switch to allow the TSReader window position and size to be specified
- Pro: Added the —N switch to allow the window position of the Stream Monitor window to be specified
- All: Updated the RTP and HRTP source modules so that SMPTE 2022-4 processing could be turned off. Some encoders put garbage after the MPEG-2 transport stream packets in RTP frames and this was causing TSReader to crash thinking it was SMPTE 2022-4 data
- All: Fixed an issue where the channel name from a CVCT might not be shown on a thumbnail
- All: Fixed a problem where exporting HTML with only thumbnails would result in an empty HTML file
- Std/Pro: Added support for https to the IPTV source module

- Pro: Added the —t switch to enable tuner info logging in the Stream Monitor
- Pro: Added the —T switch to allow the PMT timeout to be set
- All: Fixed a crash that could occur feeding short non MPEG-2 transport stream files into the File source module
- Std/Pro: Updated the processing of MPEG AAC audio streams. They are now listed as ADTS or LATM format rather than MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AAC which is a better description. Audio parameters such as sampling rate and channel mode are now shown for these streams
- All: Added source modules to handle IPv6 in both UDP and RTP formats
- Pro: Added a forwarder module to output IPv6 in UDP and RTP
- Std/Pro: Fixed an issue with the -X+ switch
- All: Fixed a crash in the TBS 5590 DVB-C2 source module
- Pro: Added logging and analysis of PCR, PTS and DTS (Export/Log Video/Audio timing). A text file is generated - a sample is here

- All: Added a warning for TBS devices that some versions of Windows require TSReader to run at least once in Administrator mode in order for the device to work correctly
- All: Added decoding of E-AC3 audio header
Version 2.8 build 53a
- Release Date: Aug 15, 2018
-
- All: Fixed a crash with some Dektec devices

- All: In the UDP, RTP and HRTP source module stream selection dialog, the friendly name for the network adapter is now shown
- Pro: The stream monitor filename can now be set. If left blank, TSReader uses its default name which is StreamMonitor-yyyymmdd.txt in the TSReader folder
- All: The TBS 5590 source modules now show the signal level in dBm, the carrier-to-noise ratio in dB and the bit-error-rate (BER)
- All: The ISDB-T tuner dialog now allows selection between the channel numbers used in the Americas and Japan
- All: A new TBS 5590 source module is included that supports variable symbol rate QAM-B signals. The default QAM-B source module uses the two fixed symbol rates used for 64QAM and 256QAM modes that's supported in North America
- Pro: Added the ability to print TSWatcher error reports
- Pro: Added the + option to the -N switch to allow the Stream Monitor log filename to be specified
Version 2.8 build 52
- Release Date: Mar 20, 2018
-
- All: The UDP multicast source modules (UDP, RTP, HRTP) and the TCP/IP source module now accept udp://addr:port and tcp://addr:port on their command-lines. This is predominantly for support of CrazyScan working with TSReader Pro
- Pro: RTP packet loss logging now logs the time difference (in milliseconds) between the packet where loss was detected and the prior packet
- Pro: Fixed a crash with badly formatted SCTE-35 messages
- Std/Pro: Fixed an issue with the TCP/IP source module where a command-line address that couldn't be connected to resulted in a looping error message
- All: If the HTTP source module detects a webpage without any M3U tags (such as an error 404), it will now display the webpage for better diagnostic information. The webpage rendering is done inside TSReader and doesn't start a web browser
- All: Added support for TBS-5580 USB multi-standard tuner
- All: Added commas to separate the thousands and millions in the multiplex bit rate. This makes reading the mux-rate much easier
- Pro: The tier level in SCTE-35 cue messages is now decoded
- All: Fixed a bug that caused thumbnails to disappear when the thumbnail refresh rate was zero (one thumbnail pass when TSReader starts) and the PMT version number changes
- Std/Pro: Added the multi protocol IPTV source module. It handles HRTP, HTTP, RTP, TCP and UDP streams with a unified stream selection interface. More information is here
- All: When the HTTP source is reading a list of transport stream files from an M3U playlist and it reaches the end of this list, it displays a warning that the end of the playlist has been reached. This makes it much more like the File source module's behavior. This message isn't displayed when reading plain HTTP streams without an M3U playlist or with a playlist that updates such as when reading a live HLS/MPEG-DASH stream
- Pro: Fixed an issue with the Closed Caption decoder where multiple languages might cause display corruption of EIA-608 captions
- Pro: Fixed an issue with TSWatcher that would cause it to hang on a mux if the mux contained rapid SCTE-35 CUE messages
- Pro: Changed the display of segmentation_upid in SCTE-35 CUE messages to hex since this field can contain binary data. The specification is quite unclear as to proper decoding of this field so this is a good balance
- All: TSReader is now aware of PotPlayer and will shut it down like VLC if that is chosen to play live video versus VLC via Playback/VLC/Settings. PotPlayer is free and very good media player that decodes faster than VLC. TSReader should be pointed at the C:Program FilesDAUMPotPlayerPotPlayerMini.exe file
- All: Added support for VLC 3.0
- All: Updating decoding of the DVB E-AC3, S2 delivery and NIT service list descriptors
- All: Frame rate and aspect ratio from H.264 & H.265 video is now shown if present in the stream
- All: Added support for all four tuners on the DVB-T and ISDB-T Silicon Dust HDHomeRun Quattro tuners
- All: Depreciated support for recording program streams. This is really a dead format and there are much better third party programs that can be used to generate these files
- All: Added support for ALPTS files. This format allows MPEG-2 transport stream files to be compressed by removing the sync byte, removing similar PID headers and dropping NULL packets - all done in such a way that this data can be recovered exactly as recorded - in other words lossless compression. Compression amount depends on the number of NULL packets
- Std/Pro: Added command-line utilities ALPtoTS.exe and TStoALPTS.exe to convert these formats in addition to the support inside TSReader
Version 2.8 build 50
Version 2.8 build 48b
Version 2.8 build 48a
Version 2.8 Build 46g
- Release Date: Apr 29, 2010
- All: Fixed a problem with DiSEqC switch commands on Tevii interfaces.

- Std/Pro: NIT tables up to 4096 bytes can now be processed.
- Std/Pro: The -I switch now accepts a + sign in the front of the first " character around the PID numbers. If the + sign is there, the quoted text becomes the name of a PDL file which specifies the PIDs to record.
- All: Initial support for the SCTE 65 system used in cable systems in the Americas.
- Pro: Added decoding of SCTE 35 CUE messages including XML export support.
- Pro: UDP forwarder can now forward just the PIDs specified.

- All: Fixed a bug with HDHomeRun sources where if the frequency was on the command line one might not see the tuner selection dialog.
- Pro: Added the -g switch which allows TSReader to run from a memory stick and keeps the profiles as files on the memory stick.
- All: Added support for the latest Alitronika AT40X devices.
- All: Added support for DVB-S BDA interfaces. This is the standard XP implementation so no DiSEqC control nor DVB-S2 is possible, however, we will be adding support for the Windows 7 enhancements which will resolve this.
- All: Fixed detection of ATSC/SCTE tables when the base PID for these systems is used for other purposes.
- Pro: UDP Forwarder window is now minimized when TSReader is started minimized.
- All: TSReader now warns if it is unable to write to a recording file (for example if out of disk space or a removable drive is disconnected).

Version 2.8 Build 46f
- Release Date: May 2, 2009
- All: We've decided to remove passwords from the setup utility for TSReader.
- All: Ctrl+N now launches VLC configuration #1 and Ctrl+Shift+N launches VLC configuration #2. These can be used to toggle playback on and off.
- All: HDHomeRun source now retunes if the symbol quality goes to zero. This corrects an issue when the HDHR is tuned for many days on the same mux and then starts sending junk.

- Fixed a bug with the TechnoTrend DVB-S2 USB2 interface that created a c:\tsreader.ts recording every time the source module is used.
- Fixed an issue with all most Hauppauge source modules not working with 2.8.46 and added support for more Hauppauge interfaces and generic QAM-B cards.
- Removed the FutureTel source module. It was causing too many missing DLL errors and the DLLs required to fix this are quite large. The support package to make this PCI encoder work with TSReader are available as a free download at http://www.coolstf.com/tsreader/TSReader_FutureTel.zip.
- The "Check for New Version" function is now available in TSReader Lite.
- Some corrections to the ATSC TSID tables.
- Fixes for the HDHomeRun operating on HRC cable networks.
- The IGMPv3 joins in the UDP Multicast source can now be specified from the command-line. For example "224.0.0.2 1234@192.168.1.5" would send the IGMPv3 join message to 192.168.1.5 for stream 224.0.0.2 port 1234.

- Fixes for the TechnoTrend Budget series PCI cards to better support CI-CAMs.
- Fixed an occasional crash that occurred on some IP/DVB streams.
Version 2.7 Build 45f
- Release Date: Apr 13, 2007
- Fixed a bug in the IP parser where more than one MPE packet in a section would be ignored.
- Updates to some of the Hauppauge source modules to support Windows Vista.
- On ATSC networks, Cable VCTs with major/minor channel numbers of zero are now displayed.
- Hauppauge HVR-950 source module now works correctly on Windows Vista.
- Null length PMT ES lists no longer cause a false ES entry to be displayed in TSReader.
- Added support for the Dektec 2145 PCI Express adapter.
Version 2.7 Build 45d
- Release Date: Dec 12, 2006
- Updated the RF Central RFX-MDR source module to allow operation with a wider range of encoders.
- Added decoding of the Channel Extended Text Table in ATSC networks. The resulting text is shown by selecting the TVCT in the tree-view.
- Added support for the HDHomeRun Ethernet 8VSB/QAM tuner.
- Minor fixes to the EPG Grid when a very large monitor is used.
Version 2.7 Build 45c
- Release Date: Nov 22, 2006
- Added support for the newer DVBWorld DVB-S/DSS tuner which uses a 9 volt power supply rather than a 5 volt supply on the older model.
- Updated all the Hauppauge source modules and added support for the HVR-950 ATSC stick tuner.
- For plugin users, if TSReader sees a PMT version change and that PMT is for the currently selected program, TSReader will send any plugins a channel change message to inform them the PMT changed.
- Update all the Alitronika devices to use their latest API.
- Fixed a bug where the USER icon would show up on all MPEG-2 thumbnails even if the video stream wasn't carrying user data.
Version 2.7 Build 45b
- Release Date: Oct 31, 2006
- Fixed a crash with DCII muxes with very long service names.
- Added support for the Nextorm DVB-S2101 USB interface. This is the "new" DVBWorld DVB-S/DSS tuner - looks identical to the DVBWorld tuner but needs a different source module because of differences in the hardware. If you can't get the DVBWorld source module to lock, try using this one instead.
- Added a source module to read from HTTP servers. Currently there's no rate control so it should only be used with "live" HTTP servers like VLC's.
- The UDP Multicast sources now support IGMP v3 add/drop membership messages on XP and above. To use IGMPv3, specify the multicast source in dotted notation, @-sign, and then the multicast address. For example 10.10.10.4@225.0.0.1.
- Added support for DVB-S2 TechnoTrend Budget cards and USB2 interfaces. You must use the TechnoTrend standard drivers and not their BDA drivers.
- Improvements to the DVB-T BDA source module.
- Added three new bandplans for DVB-T scanning. These run from 118-858 MHz stepping at 1 MHz either as 7, 8 or 7/8 MHz bandwidth. Scanning this way will take a long time but will find carriers not adering to any particular real bandplan.
