Hi Steve.

Yes I thought perhaps this was the situation. It's a pity though. Over in the USA, people can view all their TV through a media centre computer, record programmes and movies and burn these onto dvd. They can also pause and playback real-time broadcasts, as well as view all the TV listings, quite independently. In addition, their media centre computer can hold all their music collection. I cannot wait for this technology to arrive here; it would be fantastic, particularly the ability to record those ad movies. Unfortunately, in the area I live in, I cannot get Freeview either so the Nebula TV cards would be useless to me. I've got to make my mind up soon whither to upgrade to xp media centre or xp home. I might just go for the media centre for the music and of course, a much quieter machine.

Best wishes.

Andy

Hi Andy,

Not as far as I know. You will only be able to get Freeview as far as I am
aware. Apparently, Nebula are going to do something about this later in the
year.

All the best

Subject: [access-uk] Anyone viewing SKY on their computer

Hi all.

I've been talking to a few people from the USA who watch TV through their
xp media centre computers. As I'm due to upgrade I'd like to try and follow
their example. I am currently a SKY customer though do have the option of
analogue stations, though there are only four of these. Can anyone please
tell me if I purchased a Windows XP Media Centre edition computer, if I
would be able to plug my sky digi-box into this to watch my SKY TV?

Best wishes.

Andy
