If you can receive freeview in your area then yes you can get freeview on it, as long as you get one with a built in digital tuner, they don't require any cooling and they don't make any noise at all.
I suggest either this one or this one.

I Second that I bought one last week , it is a very good card ( tho Iam having issues with the remote - but I had a standard Nova-T installed before I got this one so methinks thats the issue )

The dual tuners work brilliantly , I use the FREE software called gb pvr to do the whole multimedia thing thru , you should give it a go.
This is the third Hauppage card I own , they make good stuff :-)

And , shock horror OC uk do it at a very competitive price :-)
