Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I couldn't find a more specific forum.

Basically, Im thinking about getting a tv card, I have a pretty ample tv but I need to turn round to watch it while on the computer, and sometimes it might be handy to have a little window on my comp with tv on it.

I dont really know much about them tho, so I've got a few questions if anyone feels like helping :)

Is the quality similar to a freeview box?

Some cards say HD ready or HD compatible, do some freeview channels broadcast in HD and will it be in HD on my monitor?

I see prices starting at £30, but some are a lot more exspensive, but they dont appear to be much better, how come?

Cheers to anyone who can help out :)
 
hey guys, I got the freecom stick, but I have a slight problem, I have 4 out of 6 for reception, but I get no picture and pretty much no sound other than a few blips, every now and then I see a couple of frames, but surely this shouldnt be happening with 4 out of 6 and the fact all my other tvs work fine through the same aerial?
 
Nope im single core, I tried plugging in a different aerial and it seems to work a bit better, but still not really watchable. I gotta go out for a while but Ill get in touch with their tech support when I get in :)
 
Well I got some channels working, it seems its just a little more picky than my real digiboxes, and it seems when searching for channels I can only pick "UK" as my country, and not Scotland, and as the programmes differ slightly my tv guide is all wrong so I have to manually set a timer to record stuff :/
