TV on PC

I have a Dell 2007fp and I'm going to uni soon so I need to get a TV connection for it, so could someone recommend one. All I want is the basic channels. Also I would need a remote, so I can access teletext if someone could recommend one of them.

I take it you mean your going be taking your PC system/laptop and speakers with you...If so,then all you need is one of these TV tuners for your PC

If your not going be taking a desktop pc or laptop with you and your monitor has normal video inputs then you could use any old VCR as tuner..

The Leadtek Winfast DTV1000-T Digital TV Tuner Card is what I have, quite a good card, comes with a remote and pretty cheap. It also comes with good software if your not going to use MCE.
