TV cards

[Quronos]

hi all

recently been looking to get a TV card for the old girl. I've just found a freeview box that i bought a few years back. If i buy a normal tv card, can i just connect the freeview box up to it as I would normally to a TV?

Also ....does anyone know how Vista reacts to tv cards?

you might as well get a USB TV card with free view as you will get a better quality picture you can get them for £20.
but if you do go with a TV card and a free view box it should work OK
but the price of digital free view cards are so cheap now I have a usb free view and it works just fine on XP, vista, 64bit drivers


cheers

Mine worked great through Windows Media Center (Nebula DigiTV PCI card w/ Freeview).

I have a Nebula PCI card and the "Latest" Vista Drivers from their webby are terrible

Hauppauge is terrible for Vista drivers, not sure about other companies.

Using the BDA drivers, the regular PCI drivers never worked for me at all, but the BDA ones are spot on. Also, v1.111 is the ones I used.
