I have been using DVBDream quite a bit when it still was freeware. A few rough edges, but very usable.
When they decided to make DVBDream payware I looked for alternatives. There are some good free alternatives (ProgDVB, SmartDVB), but I finally decided to buy DVBViewer, and I never looked back. When it comes to features, stability and support, DVBViewer leaves DVBDream in the dust. The price for DVBDream is ridiculously high (49 USD) compared to DVBViewer (20 EUR after a recent increase). What bugs me most about DVBDream is their attitude toward paying customers. The following quote is from their forum rules: Quote:

And don't let yourself be fooled by the "special" edition of DVBViewer that's included with some TV cards. I got this too with my TV card and it was completely unusable. Not only was the interface clunky like hell, also the video simply didn't play smooth. And because there were no options available at all in the "special" edition, nothing could be done about this. The "full" version is totally different and works flawlessly for me. And they finally added MadVR support recently

DVDViewer has a impressive feature set and maturity no doubt, still it lacks IMO the single most important feature which is error free MP4 recording.

Then are you aware of any other capturing software which offers this?
Whenever you capture TV broadcasts (no matter if it is DVB-S/S2 or DVB-T) there will be some transmission glitches eventually. Nothing you can do about it. Transmitting the streams as Transport Streams (as opposed to Program Streams) makes sure the the receiver will not go out of sync after such glitches, but the glitches are still there. For MPEG2 Transport Streams the workflow to treat these TS captures has always been to convert them to Program Streams first (ProjectX, PVAStrumento, Womble and probably some other tools). For HD captures (AVC, soon to come HEVC) the only tool I am aware of which can fix the captured files to a certain degree is TSDoctor. Maybe someone can develop a HD capture software which incorporates the routines which TSDoctor uses, but so far I have not seen any effort into this direction. And there is the basic question if it is possible at all to correct broadcasting glitches in realtime on the fly. I have my doubts...

it's possible I guess, apparently TS is difficult
