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.
