RE: Re: WinTV-NOVA-T USB or PCI

["Ian B" <Ian@xxxxxxx>]

You're not wrong! A bit of the message I clipped stated there was no
analogue support at all and nothing except a DV device (camcorder or
whatever) could connect to it. I seem to remember the free to air channels
were the only ones you get. There was no facility for subscription channels
currently or planned. I guess digital transmissions are stereo anyway and
this is where my lack of experience and knowledge slaps me in the face
again. Could be good for me though - now as soon as get that thing called a
job it may be on my want list.

Thanks

Ian
