Need a TV Card.

[Flisker]

Hey guys,

I'm in need of a PCI TV Card for Freeview for under £70 preferably from ebuyer but other places are OK if delivery is cheap.

Thanks

Buy a Hauppauge one. They are the undisputed best.

I got a second hand 1300 on ebay for about £35 and it's great. Just remember the software that comes with Hauppauge cards is teh sux. Use Windows Media Center.

I may go with the second on (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/113946) has anyone here had it and could tell me if it's good?

No, but you can't really knock it from the reviews on eBuyer http://www.ebuyer.com/product/113946/show_product_reviews

Dual digital tuners is attractive, but I'm not sure how you'd make use of this as as far as i'm aware Windows Media Centre can only make use of one at a time. Maybe you can task another piece of software to the other tuner?

Go for it, you won't be disappointed with a Hauppauge card.

Media Center can record a program while watching another if you have dual tuners.
