[access-uk] Re: nebula versus USB TV stick

Well done, Brian. I was waiting for someone to give an assessment as to which was best. The Nebula works for me and I had no desire to try anything else, but I was beginning to wonder when you all started to rave a little about this Freecom stick. Mind you, there is a price difference, but that's probably worth it.

I was only able to load the latest version when I put my computer back together a few weeks ago and haven't yet had time to play with the video part of the Nebula card. That was its weakness, as I saw it, with JAWS some time back as it crashed a number of times with me. Have you tried it yet? I'd welcome feedback if anyone is now using this function well. I always used just to resort to playing a recording via Windows Media Player rather than crash again!

Subject: [access-uk] nebula versus USB TV stick


Hi

Well having tried the freecom USB stick again on another PC this morning and got completely frustrated at the fact that it just wasn't recording anything, I decided to get out my Nebula USB digital receiver which I can now use as I have a new TV aerial where my computers are.

I have not used the Nebula software for a long time and I installed the latest version today and I am really glad I did. In my view, there is absolutely no comparison between the USB TV stick and the Nebula solution. All the items with Nebula are accessible, even the programme descriptions, and no special configuration is required. It unobtrusively records programmes, even those with audio description. Furthermore, the multitude of options available is quite amazing and all very easy to use.

So I may either let someone such as a family member have the USB TV stick or it's going back. The good thing that has come out of me purchasing this device is the fact that I have a tV aerial now so I can use the Nebula box (smile). The regret I have is that I have the USB nebula box as opposed to the internal TV card so it's not quite as tidy. On the other hand, if I change my computer, at least I can easily swap it over. But I would certainly recommend using Nebula to anyone even though I have only been using it for a couple of hours.
