What is a decoder, which ones do I need, and where do I get them?
A DA file, short for Download Agent, is a small software component used in the flashing process of Android devices. Its primary function is to establish a communication channel between the device and the flashing tool, allowing the transfer of firmware files. The DA file is usually provided by the device manufacturer and is specific to each device model.
Tecno BD2d (commercially known as the Tecno Pop 5 ) typically requires a specific DA (Download Agent) file
It depends on the country you're in, the television system you're using, and sometimes the device you use. If you don't have a decoder you require, NextPVR will tell you what type of decoder it's missing. Here are some example decoder requirements for common user groups:

NextPVR is a 32bit application so will only see 32bit decoders on the machine. It can't see 64bit decoders, so these will not be listed.
NextPVR's decoder settings only apply to Live TV, and the playback of .ts recordings. For playback of other file types, like .mkv/.mp4/.avi, it's left to Windows to decide what decoders etc are used during playback. Installing LAV from HERE will often resolve issues with playback of these other file types.
