It is the USB master unit at £49 you want (the price has dropped considerably). You need an aerial socket and Freeview reception in your area, but no additional card is required.

Isit worth it? If you have a PC in the same room, no. Get the Nebula. It is muchbetter,gives more access to the EPG, allows you to record as well as play, and isjust darned good. 2. How much does it cost these days? About 100 quid I believe. 3. Is it better than an ordinary box (is the difference in price worthit)?To be honest, no. In fact, it is an ordinary Freeview box, with audio description, and a few human generated talking prompts. This is one ofitsproblems. Every time new channels come online, you get Unknown Channel, instead of the name of the channel, and I hear they rarely update it nowadays. 4. is it good? No. 5. How do I go about getting it? I believe RNIB may still be selling it, but I may be wrong about that. 6. Should I not bother and just buy another freeview box for £20 Sadly I can't get free sat or sky as I live in a rented property so can't put a dish up, and I can't get cable as the cos don't seem to operatearoundhere, and I'm off NTL very much at the mo! If you want Audio Description, then an ordinary Freeview box won't, of course, do the job. You could get the Netgem, but again, if you have aPC,consider the Nebula offering. Visit http://www.nebula-electronics.com to find out more.Sorry, I really can't get enthusiastic at all about the Netgem, I couldn'tfrom the day it hit the market.
