Hi Brian,
If you get the card, you won't need the USB at all, unless you want
portability outside the house. I have the card, and stream the TV over my
home network, so I can listen with my laptop in the living room, and the PC
with the Nebula card in it, is in the computer room. All you have to do is
install the software on all the clients on which you want to listen to, or
record TV, play around a bit with the network settings, and off you go. And
yes, you can record over the network. You ain't seen nothin' yet <Smile>.
All the best

No it needs external power which is again why I would prefer the internal
card. If we get to the stage at any point where we want this on another PC
in another room, then I will get the card and use the USB wherever that
location is.
