I've got my eye set on the Avermedia Digital TV Tuner DVB-T.
It seems that the Avermedia ones are much cheaper than similar offering by Hauppage.
Not sure who else make TV tuners, or the features between the different brand so if anyone can enlighten me
(I know my friend got the Avermedia ones and he seems very happy with it)
Also, how do stand alone TV tuner compares to the TV tuning features of a Radeon AIW? Can AIW receive free digital TV?
Thanks.

I have the Avermedia Digital TV Tuner DVB-T and it is very good, esp for the asking price. AIW have lovelly functionality but ATI don't make them for specific markets which would be required for digital TV. If you want the 30 free-to-air TV channels then you'll need a digital TV card. The Aver's biggest downside is the sw still hasn't been tweaked and there are a few little things which would enahnce it further. You do get a wireless IR remote control, can recieve digital radio and since digital TV is already in MPEG2 format it's very easy to store to HD and has no loss of quality. Just be sure your aerial is high quality as digital TV brings uninterupted perfect pictures and sound BUT only if the signal is very good. You may need a 'High Gain' aerial which are around £25 (Maplins?). More info ...
