For more details on the features of the Hauppauge Nexus card, Please read below




The WinTV Nexus-s is designed for receiving, decoding and displaying Digital Video Broadcasts (DVB) via satellite on a standard Personal Computer. It includes a hardware MPEG decoder and a composite video output, so the digital satellite TV and digital tvprogram can be displayed both on the PC monitor and an external TV set.


With WinTV-Nexus-s, you can watch digital satellite TV and digital tvbroadcasts in a resizeable window on your PC screen and listen to digital radio in stereo. WinTV-Nexus-s lowers the cost of digital satellite tv reception by using your PC's processor to decode the TV image. If you have a 400MHz Pentium II or faster, you can use Nexus-s to display TV while still running other PC's applications. Surf the net while you watch high quality digital satellite tv.

Personal Digital VCR: With WinTV-Nexus-s, you can record your digital satellite tv programmes to your hard disk, and play them back in full original digital quality!

Compression Mpeg-2: Record whole films in formatMPEG-2. Since the DVB uses a format of compression MPEG-2, it can use functions of recording and Audio editing of programs and Video,directly from his hard disk. Compression MPEG-2 allows the recording in complete screen.

Broadband Internet has been developed to speed up the Internet web surfing and downloading performance. To use "Broadband Internet", you need to have an account with a "Broadband Internet" Service, plus an account with a local Internet Service Provider. The Internet access inside a local network over a Proxy server cannot be used.

 

How "Broadband Internet" Works: First, you connect to the Internet via your local Internet Service provider. Secondly, you log on to your Satellite Internet provider. If you are sending a request for a specified web page, the request goes via your local provider to the Satellite provider. They will then grab the Internet data and send this specified web page via Satellite back to your Computer. The speed is dependent on the satellite provider, however the WinTV-Nexus-s card is specified to receive and filter between 8 - 10Mbit/s.

DVB cards give you satellite TV and digital tv in a way you never could! A single DVB PCI card on your PC can offer more features than a Personal Video Recorder PVR like Tivo or DishPlayer, scheduling and recording of satellite TV and digital tv shows in digital quality.

Imagine having access to almost all Free-to-Air satellite feeds in digital quality with a DVB PCI card that can connect to your big screen tv and the digital coax connection on your sound system to receive AC3 Dolby Surround Sound.

Maybe you want to record shows and save them. With a DVB card, it's simple. Schedule and record, then burn on DVD if you like. Or maybe you want to view up to six satellite channels at once. A DVB card let's you do this.

The software for DVB cards such as the Hauppauge Nexus-S, Nova, Nova CI and Twinhan (VisionPlus) cards is simple to use, including profiles for almost every satellite around the world.

Satellite tv is moving to the desktop, and offering you features that can only be found on pricey satellite receivers.
