Freesat?

I am hopefully moving house soon, however the house doesn't have a TV aerial and there is no cable in the living room for it anyway. It does however have a sky dish with a cable in the living room as the previous owner had sky.

I recently bought a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-TD 500 Dual digital DVB-T for my HTPC but this is no longer going to be of any use with the sky dish so I need a recommendation on a good freesat tuner, can anyone help?

P.S my HTPC has Vista if that makes any difference.

Thanks

I use the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2 with Win 7 MediaCenter without any problems...

I bought a Compro S350 which works well and is very cheap. Only single channel, but you can always drop a second card in.

Same here, works great on my media centre with Win 7 64bit.

Appreciate the replies guys. The WinTV Nova HD S2 is very tempting but it seems to retail around £80

It doesn't appear to be a dual tuner either or am I mistaken?

The Compro S350 looks excellent price wise and I am not too bothered about it only being a single tuner as it is so cheap!

It's certainly worked fine in our bedroom media centre and at that price its pretty much disposable!
