the software comes packed with the tv application and a teletext function.
there is a facility in the software, which allows you to create libraries of tv stations for specific areas. i.e. if you was in the granada region, you could auto detect the stations then store them in a folder. if you moved area, then it would be possible to create a folder for that area and store the relevant channels.
the interface is well laid out, but i cant see much use for the "detachable remote". an extra control panel which can be moved around the screen.i have used it in europe and in france it was ok on secam, but in italy the sound was unavailable on most channels.
i did find it very usefull at one hotel there though as the hotel tv set had only a few channels. i was able to tune in using the cable select facility to a whole host of extra channels including some soccer matches which were unavailable in my room.
i have no negative criticism of the product in general, being loads of problems getting it going, but but that is down to me using win xp home. drivers are available from hauppage. but you lose the text facility. perfomance wise on my latop is poor, (933 celeron), but i will persist in trying to resolve this issue.
