YO guys i need you're help again!

When getting chosing a tv card for my pc i'm pretty sure I don't need to check the voltage/compatibility with my motherboard right???

[TR]

Not as far as I know jamin..I didnt check as it was a PCI card? on my system  

[Jaminxz]

yeah i figured as about 99% of tv cards are pci then it didn't matter about motherboard compatibility

This has freeview but no svid in and is really for media centre OS but it has drivers available to download for XP on a link from the page.
No recording software either but should work with most capture software I should think

well i don't think id be keen on this, i wouldn't truss the drivers 100%, but after doing a little researh i found out some areas of the uk broadcast freeview signals at different freqencies and so you have to get a new ariel, i think i'll just stick with a regular tv tuner.

You wont go to far wrong with the Winfast one   watching it now on the PC screen as I type..(Heartbeat)  8) Just for the 60/70s Music of course
