Get digital satellite TV on your PC: Receive free-to-air digital satellite
TV and radio directly on your PC! WinTV-NOVA-usb-s is an external usb device
which brings digital satellite broadcasts (TV and radio) to your PC or
Laptop. Digital reception provides incredibly sharp TV pictures and near CD
quality
audio and radio.

receiver. With WinTV-NOVA-usb-s, you can watch digital TV broadcasts in a
resizeable
window or full screen. You can also receive digital radio channels and
listen to digital radio in stereo.
WinTV-NOVA-usb-s lowers the cost of digital TV reception by using your PC's

broadcasts.

programmes are recorded using high quality MPEG-2, so videos look just as
good played back on your PC screen as the originals!
Note: You need about 1 gigabyte of hard disk space per hour of recorded
video.

use satellites to send high speed data directly to your PC.

once they become available in your area.

and have the aerial output from the box going to the input on your tuner
card. The one Carol is talking about is a freeview receiver which receives
digital over the aerial - see www.freeview.co.uk and use the postcode
checker to see whether you can get Freeview in your area.
