UK only: Digital TV Tuner and Teletext
Posted by Robert on October 30th, 2005


I want to add a Digi box to my PC and I want to use Teletext with it. The
Hauppauge Nova-T-USB2 looks like a good and stylish box. Looking for this
on-line it is advertised as supporting Teletext, however Octobers edition of
PC Answers magazine claims that Teletext doesn't work in the UK with this
box. I think that its unlikely that so many reseller would mis-advertise
this box in this way because if this were true then most people buying this
box would end up returning it.
Can any one using this box confirm if UK Teletext does work with it, I would
prefer not to order it and then have to return it?

Never had much luck with UK Teletext via my Hauppauge Win-TV USB capture
device. Is older though. http://www.hauppauge.com/html/usb_data.htm

"Good and stylish" are probably not the key criteria. "Good", yes.

Perhaps you should be asking "What is the best way I can add a Digi-box with
Teletext capability to my UK PC"?

Good luck ;-)
