Media Center TV

[Jake]

I know this is probably off topic. I am thinking of getting one of those
devices that plug into a USB socket and let you receive digital freeview tv.
Can anyone recommend which make and model I should I get? I have media
center on a Vista home premium pc and live in the UK.

Thanks,

Jake

I have used a Hauppauge USB receiver that just plugs into a free USB socket.
Mine was the WinTV-HVR900. Under XP it works out of the box, but under Vista
is a different story!! If you get this one, download & install AS ADMIN the
updated s/w from Hauppauge's site and forget the CD in the box. Needs a much
better aerial than supplied in the box, unless you live very near to a
transmitter.
