My m8's after a set up that he can play games on (not high res Crysis ;)) and watch TV on. I have a spare set up: Asus A8N Sli Deluxe, FX-53, Geforce 7800 GTX OC, possibly with a 20" wide-screen Dell monitor (if I upgrade mine).
Would all I need to add to this is a TV card (external/internal) and then he plug a free view box into it?
Thanks
 
Cheers Alan. Vista will be installed so I probably need the later version. Is it a case of plug it into a pci slot, install drivers (if Vista doesn't do that for me) and software, then connect an aerial to the back of the card and your good to go?

Im using that model myself, works a treat in both vista and xp. If I were to buy new now though I would go with a Nebula card.
If your on vista just grab the vista drivers from leadteks website, it won't have vista support from the CD I would'nt of thought.
Then just plug the aerial in and scan for channels, few seconds later your watching TV, allbeit with no red button :(

No red button?
 
Yeah, you know how when you watch TV like the BBC and you want to go interactive with the red button, well you can't on a PC :mad: unless you use a Nebula card. Despite the remote having a red button.

Thats why my next TV card will be a Nebula as there are times when intercative is the only way to watch certain things. BBC sport often put up different matches via the red button.
