Welcome to the DigiTV eHub Wiki

DigiTV is a digital television system designed to take advantage of the facilities already offered by a PC – graphics, audio, memory, processing etc. Adding a DigiTV tuner to a PC enables it to be used as a set top box to view the Freeview free-to-air digital TV channels that are broadcast in the UK. All that is needed is a TV license, an aerial, a PC and DigiTV. DigiTV comes in two forms:-

An electronics card that plugs into the PCI bus inside the computer.

An external unit, which connects to the PC via an available USB 2.0 port.

Both the PCI and USB devices accept a standard UHF television aerial connection, and provide a loop through so that the aerial cable can be routed to other equipment such as a normal TV or decoder box. Installation instructions for both the PCI and USB are available on the Wiki.


This Wiki is designed to help all DigiTV users - we'll update it, and you can too.

This wiki is provided to allow DigiTV users to submit/edit articles about the use of DigiTV that other users may find helpful. Please feel free to apply for an account and contribute.

About the Latest Version (v4.5)

DigiTV eHub (v4) is the next generation in the development of the Nebula DigiTV digital television platform for the PC. It builds on the previous version (v3.7) with the addition of a completely new animated interface based around Direct3D. It extends the TV/Radio functionality of previous versions with the addition of native management and playback facilities for CD, DVD and Picture libraries as well as enhanced EPG search and manipulation functions.

One major difference is that this is the first version of DigiTV to support Internet Protocol TV (IPTV). Currently, only the BBC's iPlayer service is offered (within the UK), however it is envisaged that more will be added over time.

This platform offers complete native support for visually impaired users with the utilisation of a proprietory spoken menu/EPG system.
