Hi Will, check out www.nebula-electronics.com. They supply a fabulous
tuner, USB or PCI. Their software has a few glitches but generally
works well.

They don't currently have any drivers for Vista, but they are
developing them, and they have supported x64 XP in the past so they
should also support Vista x64.

damn. wish i knew about nebula 1-2months ago!!
was looking for HDTV (USB model) that was a sensible price. also one
that supported 64bit too.
has anyone actually used a digiTV product? whats their opinions on them
- good quality stuff?

i'll have to stick with my pvr-usb2 box for the time being tho.

Errmmm...yes, me. I've used it for a couple of years.

Head across to http://www.digitv-forum.co.uk/ for discussions. The
software has bugs, notably with "recordings finishing early" and a few
other glitches. But on the whole it works very well (under XP) and
Nebula work hard to fix the bugs.

On the driver front, the Windows XP BDA driver works for my USB DVB-T tuner.
Most BDA USB drivers should be fine, PCI however is a different matter - you'll
have to wait for drivers to come out.

Can't vouch for either, but here's two dual tuners.
