Can anyone recommend me the best one? Miss having the options of flicking on the TV and have to make special arrangements to watch the footy tonight!

Thanks.

I suppose different people will recommend what they use.....

I have a Terratec Cinergy 2400i DT

Looked at quite a few, but the Terratec was the one I went for.

I have a Terratec Cinergy 2400i DT, it has a lot of nice features (remote, dual tuners etc) but it is quite pricey.

Does it support Vista 64?

Is that one Vista compatible?

I have a Terratec Cinergy 2400i DT and can confirm that it works with Vista 64 and Media Centre.

Thanks very much JudgeC. Another question, my Nebula TV card (PCI, with no Vista 64 support) is able to let me stream TV over the network to multiple PC's (with XP, or Vista with aero disable DOH), so does the terratec support network streaming? - I didn't see it mentioned on the spec's so I would have thought not.

I've just acquired a Pinnacle PCTV 40i but i haven't got an aerial anywhere near my PC :/

Not to the best of my knowledge, although I can'y say there is not a 3rd party tool out there to allow this.
I must admit, I do miss my Nebula, shame they couldn't sort 64bit drivers out.

Thanks for the input. Have ordered the Terratec Cinergy 2400i DT, should be here Tuesday. Should be fun just in time for the footy.
