QUESTION of WHICH tv/capture/tuner card !? :)

[VIPER_1069]

as per title > QUESTION of WHICH tv/capture/tuner card !?


I want to get a tv/tuner capture card that can also capture in MPEG/MPEG 2

That also tunes UK digital terrestrial tv as well as normal UHF/VHF channels

any recommendations !?

A USB version would be preferable saves messing about and can/could be used portable too

although PCI is fine if it has the right specs and quality


budget is around £50-£70 or there abouts


EPG (electronic program guide) would be a plus here too.. and time shift recording ...although maby im asking too much for small budget !?

please provide links if possible so i can read comments /reviews and tech specs


thanks in advance

I am thinking about to buy a pure digital terrestrial card... That's the reason I had some info about this stuff. Please post the results, the feedback is more than welcome.
