    Folks,

    I'm looking for an all singing all dancing TV card that I can watch both Freeview TV, FreeSat TV and the new DTT service.

    Is there such an item?

    Thanks

    Any combo DVB-T/DVB-S card will do Freesat/Freeview/DTT in Windows Media Center with 7 day guide for DTT and Sat.

    If you want Freeview HD (DVB-T2) from UK they dont exist yet.

    Recommended card from expereince is the the Blackgold BG3595 which is combo Dual DVB-S2/ Dual DVB-T at a very reasonable 160eur delivered for what it is (see blackgold.tv)

    I have used a Pinnacle 7010x dual DVB-S / DVB-T card on XP with DVBviewer Pro for over a year now and recently moved it to a Win7 box running MCE.
    DVBviewer provided genuine Freesat 7 day EPG from the satellite stream plus the 7 day EPG on Irish DTT. Windows 7 MCE also provides EPG listings, but these are downloaded from the net as a Microsoft provided service. Works fine, but you may have a problem sourcing the Pinnacle card as I don't think it's still in production. You may find one on eBay (I got mine for about 40 euro) - if you do, grab it!
