PC Pro: Product Reviews: Hauppauge WinTV-Nova-S-USB2

To receive the Freesat channels you can pick up a new box and satellite yourself or buy a card for an existing Sky Digital box and dish. Alternatively, you can pick up one of Hauppauge's new USB digital satellite TV tuners to use with an existing dish installation.

Bad Science In which I attempt to become, like, poetic.

They explained that lobbying MPs would have a negative impact and might actually be counter-productive on their softly softly approach. They couldnt support people who went, and if attending they should make it clear they have nothing to do with the MRC. Since I may one day be applying to them for a grant myself Id like to clarify formally that I have no opinions. - badscience.net

Croatian state broadcaster nicks BBC web site design - The INQUIRER

Vijesti.net has a rather damning comparision of the two state broadcasters' sites here where it would appear that the two sites were indeed separated at birth. As our knowledge of Serbo-Croat is rudimentary at best and web translation services insist on telling us things such as 'then then remain indefinitely of how this yes' and 'smo does raspitati who is who leg is doing', we feel unable to comment on the detail of the accusations. Smo does raspati, indeed, as they say in old Zagreb. - theinquirer.net

Andy Duncan fed up by Channel 4 funding squabble | Media | guardian.co.uk

Duncan said he wanted to concentrate instead on the urgent need for Channel 4 to find a solution to its funding shortfall through the Ofcom public service broadcasting review. Lyons warned that the additional regulatory scrutiny that would come with public money could fatally undermine Channel 4's unique role and purpose. He avoided commenting directly on Lyons' speech or which potential funding option Channel 4 favoured, focusing instead on hammering home the urgent need to find a workable solution. - guardian.co.uk

Raymond Snoddy on Broadcasting - Comment, Media - The Independent

Naturally, Olswang emphasises, there is no suggestion that Robbie Williams or Ant and Dec were aware of any of those issues. The watchdog's investigation into ITV has, however, thrown up an interesting issue for the future.
