Looking to get rid of sky and going for feesat. Whats your views.

Thank you for that, Some issues to think about there.

My tv signal is poor as i have the dish i'm thinking free sat is the easier solution.

Does anyone know of any cards and where i can purchase them from.

Many Thanks

I am a HUGE media PC fan. If you have Windows Media Center (go for Windows 7 as you get the HD channels too) you get the channekl listing downloaded via the media center app anyway. I would plump for a HD tuner card. I have these 2 fitted:

Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online - Scan.co.uk!

BGT3540 - BlackGold

Both work flawlessly. You should look for a duel purpose card (DVB-T, DVB-S), although since the Blackgold card is no longer available it may be hard to find a low profile one.

I use a Hauppauge Win-TV-Nova-HD-S2 card. The version 7 software is pretty good, but I don't use the remote.
