Fine. With DVB it is only spooling the MPEG stream to disk or the player, |
| 9 |
so one card seems much the same as another. You do need a reasonable |
| 10 |
antenna tough, although the Freecom worked better with a poorer setup |
| 11 |
than my Hauppage Nova 500 card, the supplied desktop antenna won't cut it |
| 12 |
unless you live next door to the transmitter. |

The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten per cent of its |

capacity ... the rest is overhead for the operating system. |
