The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PNCH file with the RealPlayer application.
Step 3. Update RealPlayer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RealPlayer program, it is possible that RealPlayer For Mac Channel requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the RealNetworks, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PNCH file

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PNCH file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PNCH file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PNCH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PNCH file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PNCH file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use RealNetworks, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PNCH files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PNCH file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PNCH file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PNCH file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
