    Digital TV Recommendations

    Sorry for yet another post from me...

    now my new rig is finished im looking to get a new TV card (the one i have at the moment is analogue) to finish it off, but im not sure of what to get.

    Ive seen a few things knocking around on Scan today only such as:

    http://www.scan.co.uk/products/produ...oductID=406107

    OR

    http://www.scan.co.uk/products/produ...oductID=406110

    but not sure what to get. I have about £40 to spend but thats def the top of my budget, and i really would like it to work with MCE.

    Am i asking too much for that budget???

    Any help appreciated

    Cheers as usual

    I have the PCI KWorld card. Not really used it as it was going to be inside a MythTV box that isn't happening now. Apparently it is a very good card with a decent tuner and conexant controller. It's well supported under Linux, but i don't know about MCE drivers, i don't know if they exist yet.

    There was some discussion months ago on the Media Portal forum about fooling the DVB-S cards drivers to install on DVB-T card to get working BDA drivers.

    don't know if it has changed.

    how about the Leadtek card?

    According to the logo, it's MCE compatible:
