    tv card

    simple really....opinions on tv cards please lads/lasses...analogue vs digital and price vs performance....thinking on the lines of a reasonably priced one that gives good picture and performance and possibly digital so as to get free-to-air?...what do I need apart from a card..a good aerial?

    All help is appreciated and I value your opinions.Regards...Gravy

    There is only one decent Freeview card on the market at present and its the Nebula Digital TV Card. superb support and software interface. bit pricey though.

    http://www.nebula-electronics.com

    From experience the rest have really crappy software bundled with them and are prone to crashing occasionally.

    MCE - Windows Media Centre Edition 2005.

    Just a windows designed to work better as a "media system" and it does actually work a lot better than windows with my Nova-T card.

    It grabs the TV listings from the internet every sunday and then I can set the recorder to record a whole array of shows and plan in advance what I want to record and view later.
