Brian, I'm heartened to hear what you, Steve, and one or two others are
saying about the Nebula digital TV solutions. I'm going through a raw time
of it money-wise so I think I shall be stretching my finances to buy the
dual tuner on the strength of waht people are saying here. (I trust there
won't be any problems here, but I look forward to hearing from those who've
started using the dual tuner, be it internal or external.
As you know Brian, Im not a JFW user, but for those who are I imagine
there's an opportunity awaiting you to do good scripts for, maybe, Windows
Media Center plus the Nebula Freeview tuner recorder, allowing people to
easily read the Electronic Program Guide, easily do TV and some digital
radio recording, and maybe even reading electronic text, which I understand
is virtually there to be done, if someone hasn't achieved this already.
I feel a good opportunity awaites someone who can set up a Media Center PC
that people can use with little or no hassel, and based around a quiet PC.
I'd certainly be putting my money where my mouth is if I had the capital!

Hi Ray
I agree with you completely. The more I use the Nebula solution, the more I
think that Digi TV in my view is a model of excellence in terms of
accessibility. Much of my job involves assessing applications for
accessibility and putting things right when I need to, usually through
scripting/mapping, or by working with Developers to ensure they do what they
need to. In that regard, you would be hard pressed to find something which
is quite as accessible as the Digi TV program. It is outstanding!
Yes I should imagine the cost for this newer updated model of the Portset
product will be more than most people can afford.
