Get a digital TV tuner from somewhere like Hauppauge.

Ebuyer, PCWorld, Dabs etc.. sell them.

i think you have to buy yourself a tv adaptor thing, it's like a usb wireless adaptor. Then you install the drivers you recieve with the adaptor and your away :). You probably need good gfx card though, and they cost about £30

[Recursion]

You don't need a good graphics card.

For christ sake don't get a cheap one. You will have nothing but trouble with it

I spent around £70 on mine and its great, has the MPEG2 Hardware encoder for Media Center support, Digital and Analouge support, a normal aerial input, a cable input for free cable channels, s-video input (came with composite to s-video adapter), an IR receiver + remote and a line in input for the s-video's audio.

Generally you need a graphics card with 65mb of RAM, so basically anything integrated and above LOL

LOVE IT.
