Links to reviews are fine, but competitors are a big no no
 
About bloomin' time. Still on the pricey side and no support for Windows Media Center? That could be a problem, certainly for me. Hopefully that will come, though the decision for the UK to use DVB-T2 still baffles me slightly. No doubt it's ultimately money.
 
the pctv can be had for £80 and the blackgold is £115, crazy prices! Blackgold should make one without a cable tuner, that would reduce the cost a lot.

The pctv doesn't suppose windows media centre which is quite a big negative!

p.s i highly doubt your netbook could cope with the playback of freeview hd, even with hardware decoding of a gpu. Lets hope ocuk stock both of these.

yeah, maybe £45-50 for a PCI-E or USB dvb-t2 tuner but £80 is more than a freeview hd box for a tv.

Why wouldn't DVB-T2 be used? Bit-rates for HD are low enough as it is with DVB-T2, let alone with the less efficient DVB-T.

Cheaper than a Freeview HD+ box though, which is essentially what it is assuming you can save the incoming TS streams.

I'll probably get one eventually, I'm annoyed that my uni network can't sustain a decent bit-rate through iPlayer when MotD is on (must be popular :p). MotD won't be in HD until probably next season though. :/
