Which Freeview card would you go for?

It's arrived and installed, I cant find any channels at all :confused:

Admittedly it's a rubbish aerial but it worked for me in the past!

I'll be holding off the review for awhile til I get down to the problem of this.

Any update on this??? I'm in the market for buying one of these this week.

It's probably the aerial, is it indoor or outdoor?

I just got the Nova-T 500, it has twin DVB tuners which need a wideband or high gain digital aerial to work correctly.
Since my aerial is over 10 years old it uses analog still, so I need to sort this out before I can use it properly.

I got a replacement delivered today, took the PC downstairs to the main aerial and it was good :)

Off to buy a indoor aerial, if it works well. Expect a review later on today :)

So does it need a special type of aerial? I live in a block of flats and don't have a clue what type of aerial is on the roof. It must be pretty good though i guess as its supplies every flat in the block. I've also got a standalone phillips freeview box and freeview built into my panasonic px60, and always had good signal strength/picture on both.

Hurry up with the review ;)
 
Just got back from buying the indoor one which is apparantly meant to be good, I can't seem to pick anything up and my area is generally decent for signal. I'm arranging to get an external one put in.

Or I could steal the one from downstairs as they use the digibox and not the analogue connection. Let me see what my father thinks.
 
Any more details on this?

Im still very much ummmming and arrrrrrring between the Terratec 2400i and the Nebula digitv usb box...

Im in two minds as I like the Nebula and think its the best out, but the Terratec has the features Nebula should have already done (dual dtv tuner on 1 card and using those redundant PCIe) - also with Vista it seems MCE is standard (well Home Premium/Ultimate) so the Nebula software is pretty much redundant soon (tho I wont be moving to Vista this year)

I guess the question is - is the Nebula good enough not to need 2 tuners in one solution?
