Anybody have any tried and tested recommendations for use either in vista 64 or xp? Thank you :)
Oh I should have mentioned I don't have an arial and so it would have to work with some kind of an indoor one and perha[s an amplifier to boost the signal.

hhhmmmm unless you can see your regions mast from your window I dought very much you will pick anything up.
Do you have a loft? You can pick up a good freeview aerial for around £10 and will make the world of difference.

As for TV cards I reccomend the Nebula card, which OcUK still don't stock (hint hint)

How is your reception with an indoor aerial now? In my experiance you are not guaranteed to pick up everything your main TV will if you are using a TV card with an indoor aerial.

When I say indoor I mean a crap jobby that sit's on the TV.
Get yourself a decent freeview aerial from the high street and bang it in the loft and you should pick up eveything.
Other alternatives are to shunt the SKY picture into your TV card if you have that or maybe use a DVB-S card if you have a sky dish on the house, but then a few freeview channels are missing.

Decent freeview aerial in the loft + a Nebula/Leadtek TV card and jobs a good'en.
