Hi Brian,
I have one question about the USB version of Nebula. Does it require
external power, or is it powered by the USB port? I have the PCI version,
and am as happy as you are <Smile>.
Thanks.
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] nebula versus USB TV stick
Hi
Well having tried the freecom USB stick again on another PC this morning
and
got completely frustrated at the fact that it just wasn't recording
anything, I decided to get out my Nebula USB digital receiver which I can
now use as I have a new TV aerial where my computers are.
I have not used the Nebula software for a long time and I installed the
latest version today and I am really glad I did. In my view, there is
absolutely no comparison between the USB TV stick and the Nebula solution.
All the items with Nebula are accessible, even the programme descriptions,
and no special configuration is required. It unobtrusively records
programmes, even those with audio description. Furthermore, the multitude
of options available is quite amazing and all very easy to use.
So I may either let someone such as a family member have the USB TV stick
or
it's going back. The good thing that has come out of me purchasing this
device is the fact that I have a tV aerial now so I can use the Nebula box
(smile). The regret I have is that I have the USB nebula box as opposed to
the internal TV card so it's not quite as tidy. On the other hand, if I
change my computer, at least I can easily swap it over. But I would
certainly recommend using Nebula to anyone even though I have only been
using it for a couple of hours.
