Re: free view box

if your existing graphics card in the pc has 'VIVO' capability it is just a case of connecting from the freeview scart to a composite or s-video connector on the graphics card - otherwise you will have to fit a separate tuner/capture card to the pc

- some examples of TV cards in the link

Re: free view box

you would need one of these

http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/AD001.html

and either this lead

http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/VA001.html

or this

http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/SV001.html

depending whether you wanted composite or s-video - bear in mind no sound is carried by s-video, so you would prolly need the RCA cable, as well, to use the stereo L/R leads.

- of course, if you haven't yet got the freeview box, you can get DV-T cards & dongles that make it really easy with a decent aerial
e.g.

- haven't tried it myself, though
