i get every channel off every mux, yes. different cards have more or less sensitive tuners. USB cards tend to be worse.

It was the same in my old flat too, so unless i've been REALLY luck with existing aerials, my card's a good 'un.

the only difference between a dvb-t card and an stb is that you'll get the TUTV channels with a STB.

a new card IS a necessity if he wants optimum quality and functionality.

it all depends whether he values being able to use it with a TV (which isn't impossible with a pc-based solution by any means) or whether he prefers the option of timeshifting, and pvr ability.
