Hexus just reviewed one, check the front page.

Can't say which one you should get, but i can tell you to aviod the Freecom one. I have it and sent it back. Terrible software and drivers, crap aerial and rubbish tuning. Aviod.

I have the new Hauppauge HVR-900 USB2 stick, and can highly recommend it. It receives both analogue and freeview and the quality is fantastic.

Yep absolutely, here's the list of stations I get:

The quality is perfect, I'll pm you a 10 sec sample.

I think because this device is fairly new on the market there hasn't been much coverage of it in the UK yet, in terms of reviews or anything. It really is a superb piece of kit, it'd be great if Hexus could do a review considering they've reviewed a couple of other USB tv tuners so it'd be a good comparison.
