The Elgato EyeTV Hybrid is pretty great (both the hardware and software):

The only issue with it is controlling the NTL Digital box itself - the short answer is that it can't do so which makes it a pain for scheduling recordings, etc...

The cheapest one from Elgato is the EyeTV DTT:

And you still get EyeTV 3 with it - Elgato lists it at €59.99 or try Amazon.co.uk instead:

which should work out at around €55, delivery is free.

Isn't a digital-only tuner kinda useless here for the moment though?
