<b>Digital Satellite TV Card plus analogue Video-In</b>
TV-Station DVB-S Plus This is the right card for you to take advantage of the seemingly endless TV and radio programming available today, courtesy of satellite technology. Receive, record, edit, and burn several hundred TV and radio channels to CD or DVD. You can even gain access to the Internet using this card!
The Plus version of this card has additional analog inputs, which allow you to connect your analogue equipment and digitise your VHS videos and home movies and preserve them for a long time to come.
In an effort to satisfy every need, including the reception of Pay-TV*, this card even has a standardised CI Common Interface, which supports our CineView Module, like all of our future digital TV cards.
<b>TV and Radio</b>
Watch TV like you have never done it before, with the clarity, detail, and quality of HDTV (MPEG2 standard) – the future of TV. Never again miss a highlight on your favourite show even when you are sitting at your computer. While surfing the Internet, you can watch the current TV programming in a small window in the corner of your monitor, or you can sit back and relax and watch more suspenseful scenes using the full screen mode. The radio tuner works in a similar fashion, but there is not even the need to keep a window open. Simply tune to your favourite radio station and minimize the window to be able to enjoy the radio programming coming from your PC speakers in the highest quality.
<b>Recording</b>
Recording your favourite radio and TV programming is equally comfortable. Start recording manually or use the recording timer to schedule a recording ahead of time. TV programming can be recorded by simply clicking on a programming item in the Teletext display (radio programming can only be recorded manually). Connect your camcorder or VCR to the TV Card and transfer your favourite videos to CD or DVD to enjoy them for many years to come.
<b>Internet</b>
If you live in a rural region or an area that does not offer DSL, or if you live in a city but do not wish to buy any additional hardware, you can use this product (and a separate service provider) for high-speed Internet Access**. Simply find a service provider or select one from the list of providers and sign up for a service, or start surfing the Internet immediately using call by call.
