["Gary" <questuk1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

thanks, you are helping me a lot!

in your opinion what's the best for value, TV card for input to my PC.

i would like to record freeview as well as the normal analogue signal
in the UK.

also does anyone know of a forum or web page that is already
discussing how to make a PVR using PC.

Regards Gary
