Adam,
so good when a plan comes together!
You got the HD or standard-def? How's your graphics card coping?
I'm considering upgrading the Freecom for an HD.
VLC is a bit of a faff with the manual tuning but after that works like a
charm.
Aerials are the problem wherever you are with these USB

Adam,
you can get pretty much all of them to work in the current kernel; I keep

I don't think you need quad core. My dual core Asus at3 ion mobo with cpu
does hd playback (no idea of the codec) but it also has a nvidia gpu
builtin with hardware acceleration.
I would always recommend hardware accelerated decoding over more cpy power
(not sure if extra cores really help here)

Questions:
1) Do these kind of devices actually work?

Clearly I'm talking rubbish here, as you were asking about terrestrial

Our beloved CRT died a couple of weeks ago. :-(

I had a MythTV system set up with 4 tuners for a long time. Unfortunately I've
had to move to cable/TiVo now which means better TV but terrible interface (in
comparison to MythTV). Worked fine in Ringwood, Gosport and various locations
in Soton.
I still have a couple on Freecom USB sticks -
