I think this gets placed here, not sure.

I am looking at getting a Dell 2007wfp and it has S-video in, and basically i wanted to know if theres any reasonably priced freeview boxes that have Svideo out and audio out, just the model or if its not a competitor a link?

And i was wondering if i could plug the audio out, into my sound card and then have the sound coming through my pc speakers?

thanks in advance, sukh

It would, but from what i hear from everyone is that TV cards always cause problems. They cause hardware conflicts, and the software is buggy and bloated and never works as its supposed to. Ive not heard of one card that works as its supposed to and doesnt install a bunch of bloated crap on the pc. I would prefer a tv card because i could use it as a PVR.

How much am i looking at for one of the Terratecs? And i kinda like the idea of having a remote control, even though its not essential as i usually sit at my pc, just novelty.
And can i run "xp media" without having to switch to XP MCE as i already have XP pro license.

In all seriousness, do the Terratec do Analogue and Digital? Because i dno if i get digital whilst at uni, as in the aerial being good enough to get freeview.
