Hi According to their web site: Nebula Electronics is currently investigating the design of a product that will allow DigiTV users to access these premium channels if they have a TopUp TV smartcard. It will consist of a small box that connects directly into a USB 2.0 port on your computer and will accept a TopUPTV CAM and smartcard. The device will support both the DigiTV PCI and USB versions. I am disappointed to learn from others on this list that Topup TV does not carry the Audio Descriptions which are available for some programmes on E4 and UK Gold. I wonder how they can get away with doing this? I guess they are not covered by the legal requirements to provide Audio Description that applies to other channels.
