In the UK, again you have little choice...

The de facto card is the Hauppauge Nova-T retailing from dabs.com and the like for about �100 inc. VAT. It's a budget card. If you want a full-feature DVB-T card, Hauppauge can get them for you if you ask them directly.
The DVB-T card has been one of my favourite additions to this Linux box apart from my BT dongle. The picture and sound quality are fantastic! And it's quite neat watching / recording multiple channels at the same time, for example Independence Day and Little Voice this evening :o) The 2002-Oct-10 DVB CVS has been working very sweetly for me and I am currently kindling a worrying QVC addiction -- damn them and their damn micro fibre towels!


This is stuff specific to VDR, but there's nothing to stop you from using a budget card and using MPlayer / Xine to view the MPEG2 streams..
Of course, that's not really a comfortable solution for watching TV from your armchair :)
Never tried pumping MPlayer via my TV out as yet (not owning a TV playing some role in this), however do I control my viewing experience from bed with BT enabled PDA and some scripted Perl webpages >:o)

Anyway, time to catch up on today's Neighbours (at least it's not "Fame Academy")...

Happy New Year Everyone!
