They include a hardware MPEG decoder and a composite video output, so the digital TV program can be displayed both on the PC monitor and an external TV set. The WinTV-DVB-s and WinTV-Nexus-s can receive Free-to-View channels without the need for any specialised additional equipment (see compatibility below). However, to receive 'subscriber' or 'pay per view' channels, an optional module (Common Interface Module) will be required, together with a decryption card, available, for a fee, from the provider of these channels. Note: though DVB-s is the transmission specification for satellite pay-TV services in North America, such as Direct-TV, neither the WinTV-Nexus nor the WinTV-DVB cannot receive these broadcasts due to proprietary encryption schemes used. Used with a MODEM, it can facilitate connection to a satellite ISP (Internet Service Provider) to achieve high speed data services. Compatibility: To use the WinTV-DVB-s card, you will need the following: PC with Pentium Processor, (Pentium 266MHz or higher recommended) Free bus-master PCI Socket 32 MB RAM minimum PCI or AGP Graphic card, running at a minimum resolution of 800 x 600 Pixel, in either 'High Colour' (16 Bit) or 'True Colour' (24 or 32 Bit) Active speaker or soundcard/speaker combination CD-ROM Drive (only required for software installation) Microsoft Windows 95 / 98 / 2000 DirectX 5 or higher Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher In addition, you need a connection to a digital ('combo' or 'high-band') satellite system. If this system incorporates a switch-box, this switch box needs to be DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) compatible. The physical connection on the WinTV-DVB-s card is a single F-Connector.
