    I'm not too sure if I've posted this in the right place, but they are usually grouped together.

    Anyway, I am seriously considering getting one for my PC as quite simply my TV takes up too much space on my desktop. The only problem is I have no idea what I am looking for (through research on the web, the brand Hauppage seems to be highly recommended though). Ideally an internal plug in would be the best option rather than having another USB plug in cluttering up my desktop. Does anyone have any recommendations for me? I dont plan on spending any more than £100, only if needs be.

    There's not really much you should be looking for expect making sure you have a good brand. Hauppage, AverMedia and ASUS all make good TV Tuner Cards.
    Most of them can store over 100 channels and can capture still images and some of the more expemsive ones have Video In aswell!
    There is This one for £89.24 inc.VAT, look good?

    In fact, I should have mentioned that I wanted digital freeview on it. I've had another look, and I'm convinced on this one:

    The only thing is I dont have a digital freeview antenna. Would it be possible to get an indoor one and simply plug that into the PCI card?
