Which card to get?

I'm looking at having TV on my computer.

Am looking at a couple of TV cards.

My uncle has this one and said that it's fantastic -

Compro VideoMate DVB-T200 Digital TV Internal PCI - Retail (GX-000-CP) - £41

I've also found a card that people are raving about -

Nebula DigiTV PCI Master Tuner card - £90

Is this worth over double the price of the other?

Why is it so expensive compared to other cards? What's so special about it?

Thanks,

Andy

I've read that the Compro is a good TV card, but i'm only going by what i've read as I don't have one myself. Sorry can't be of much further help.

I've heard Nebula make one of the best cards.

The compro is good but the nebula is better. The nebula is probably the best digi-tv card out at the moment. It's the software that comes with it that really makes it stand apart. Easy to use, stable, nice features etc. Not so much of a difference if your going to be using XP MCE.

I have the Compro and haven't had any trouble with it, other than sometimes when changing channels on MCE it wont find a signal straight away, so you have to change to another channel and then back again to get it to tune in. It happens to a friend of mine's card as well, so I don't think it's due to low signal.
