Every few months I get excited about upgrading my media pc with a tv card that can actually receive freeview HD. Unfortunately each time I find out that there are no PCI or PCI-E cards around. Does anyone know if that's changed yet or even if there are some on the horizon (I'd heard they might make an appearance before the world cup).
 
According the Haupauge they are having supply problems with the necessary electronics. Computer based tuners are pretty much bottom of the heap in terms of supply priorities, so I would guess that all the stand-alone boxes and TV-integrated tuners are getting the parts.

Unlikely to see them before the World Cup IMO
 
Ah well. It just seems a shame, I can see the crystal palace transmitter from my house and the damn thing has been pumping out HD in various formats since 2006 ...
