Recommend Freeview PCI Card for a PC please?

[Munchkinn]

There seem to be a few of these about, but I haven't heard of half the makes I've come across so far. Can anyone with first hand experience recommend a good Freeview PCI card (or a USB one, as long as it would work with a lower spec PC - if that makes a difference!) Thanks!

Thanks for that! They do seem to have had some very good reviews. Shame they are a bit pricey Maybe I just won't tell the Missus how much it was! By the time you add VAT and postage your looking at about £125, unless anyone knows different!

The main attraction is that it works reliably and in fashion that is suitable for HTPC use. It is pricey but I recently tried one of the cheaper cards (it was around £65) and had to return it as it was useless.

Nebula eveery time, even ATI's offering is a joke compared to the Digi TV card

Slightly cheaper here : http://www.pcvideo.co.uk/

£99+ VAT inc 'free' delivery at the moment.

Worth it without doubt

They are the cheapest I have found too, it's "out of stock" with them though Oh well, I guess I can wait...

I just got one direct from Nebula. They are great cards and the PVR function is excellent.

Anyone know what they are like for transferring in analogue video onto PC, as that was another reason for getting a card? I need to transfer video of the kids etc to DVD...
