TSReader Lite
Version 2.8.55
TSReader is a transport stream analyser, decoder, recorder and stream manipulator for MPEG-2 systems. It supports DVB, ATSC, ISDB, and Digicipher® II extensions to the base MPEG-2 specification. TSReader gives the user the "big picture" overview of what's being carried inside MPEG-2 transport streams and can be very useful for finding errors or inefficiencies. TSReader Standard costs $100 and Professional $400

Lite: Fixed a bug where pressing F5 didn't refresh the thumbnail view
Pro: Added DVB/SCTE-27 subtitle streams to the video/audio timing function since these also contain PTS
