Has your USB digiTV thing got "Windows Media Center" compatible drivers?
Maybe they have a driver update on their website?

Because the USB digitv thing I've got from Nebula doesn't have MCE drivers so it's a bit redundant. That's why I got a PCI card version.

Hi and thankyou

Hi, and no it doesnt, i just realise i need the drivers with it to work with media center, I only bought the thing today aswell from maplins, oh well i will take back and look for one maybe that goes into the PCMCIA Slot, is that how you got yours set up, ive seen one for 69pds or a usb one for 49pds and are both compattable with mce, That will teach me not to read the full spec first, also can you tell me of the card that runs of the PCMCIA Is good and stable? or will the usb one be ok, as it does state the usb one i only need pentium 2.4 ghz or upwards to work, and mine is a PENTIUM M 1.66 Ghz , but the usb one only needs to be 800ghz or upwards to work, What do you advise and thankyou for replying.
Regards from brian
