Hi Carol,
No, I don't run the Nebula on the laptop, I run it on a networked PC
upstairs, and play all my media using the Nebula player, which is installed
also to the laptop, and it works very well stand-alone as well, and doesn't
need to have a tuner installed. I then select my video files over the
network.
All the best

Steve,
I agree with you both about the PC being the best media centre and also
about the Nebula card.
Do you have Nebula actually running on the laptop then, or just on the
system somewhere else in the house? I'm interested in what spec laptops
could cope with the Nebula card as I want to move all our media stuff to the
lounge and utilise the better speakers in there.
