Re: PC TV Cards

Not sure if I want to or even need to do this but i'm interested in
the answer anyway!

The Nebula DigiTV PCI card ( http://www.nebula-
electronics.com/information/info.asp?Code=0001 ) is also a digital TV
card but it has an additional analogue input.  In that case I would
be able to watch programmes already captured on Tivo via this route.
Agree?  However there would be no way to route digital output from
the Nebula to the Tivo to capture it - would there?  Or can that be
achieved through the video card's TV Out?
