Hi Carol,

Not quite streaming remotely.  You have to be connected to a local area
network.  The bit that you can do remotely though, is to set up your timed
recordings.  That is truly Kool!

All the best

Hi Carol,

I use the Nebula card.  It is now quite accessible with JFW and
Window-Eyes. It is also the first card that I know of that allows you to
set up recordings remotely over the web.  So if you are at work for
example, and want to watch a programme that a colleague tells you about,
you can just log into your home machine over the web, with a user name
and password, and then set up Freeview recordings to be made on your
hard disk at home.  Pretty cool huh?  And yes, the EPG is also
accessible.

I love it.  To me, it makes the Net Gem half-accessible box look a bit
sick sometimes, particularly as Nebula are improving it all the time.

All the best

Thanks, Andrew.

We already have CABLE and a video and a load of cables at the TV.  We do
not have a phone line nearby.  (We are just loath to make that corner
any more complicated.)

The computer, just next-door has ready access for download for upgrading
box or card.

So, again, does anyone use that card?

Hi,

I use the Netgem set top box, it sits by the television and is very
small/light.  There are no buttons on the box; they are on the remote,
which is quite small but at the same time is one of the easiest remotes
I have used in a long while.  The software on the box is upgradable via
the Internet wirelessly or via the phone connection which is optional.

The main issue with the PCI/USB one is that you can't watch it in the
living room unless the machine is there.

Andrew.

Subject: [access-uk] NEBULA DIGITV FREEVIEW CARD

Hi All,

I am considering the merits and drawbacks of the Nebula DigiTV card
and/or the set top box recommended by the RNIB.

I know a number of you have the set top box and would just like to ask
for a description of its size and whether or not you need to use a
handset.

With regard to the TV card, this comes as PCI or USB2 and I am wondering
which of these is the fastest and likely to be the best buy, as I could
have either.  Is anyone out there using the NEBULA card?  I shall be
particularly interested to know how you find the software.  I haven't
yet checked this, but it looks as though the software from NEBULA is
upgradeable.  Can anyone confirm that, please?

I look forward to responses and, as always, thanks!
