Freeview For PC
 

Hi

I've built my stepson a PC, and we've got him a 3D Monitor which has HDMI & VGA Ports.

I want to set him up some TV that he can use through his monitor, and i'm wondering which is the best way? Any ideas?

Well until you are sorted you can use tvcatchup.com

If the monitor is HDCP compliant, any HDMI freeview/freesat box can be plugged into it

tvcatchup.com is certainly the easiest way. If you want a more regular TV-on-PC experience then you want a Freeview compatible tuner and Windows Media Centre.

Blackgold offer a couple of Freeview HD compatible tuners, one looks to be able to handle four channels at once.

WMC is easy to setup and is fantastic PVR software.

I have been using this kind of haupgage (I think it's pronounced "hop hog") usb freeview tuners for years, cheap and cheerfull:)
