Aldi Hi spec computer 24th Nov £749

Most significant feature is Three separate dual tv tuners,

One for satellite, one for freeview, one for analogue, means you can watch one channel and record another in any of the formats you have an aerial for.

The irony you can walk into a supermarket and buy a significantly better PC than anything PCWorld etc can offer

But you have to add £150 or so on for a 17" TFT monitor (Well you don't HAVE to, but it dosen't come with one...)

I would be interested to know if it comes with a printer too as it says , directly print onto cd's and dvd's although it might have a lightscribe burner i guess

If only I knew what DVB-S cards they use, I'd like to have plenty of 3rd party support (and like using ProgDVB/HispaDVB). It'd make a great PVR especially as it has two of each tuner, SCART socket and what looks to be a good remote.

Doesn't make sense buying a PC this year with Windows Vista coming out next year. Will this be Vista ready??

Pretty sure it's Vista ready - has a dual-core processor.

I wonder what software it comes with to support the dual dvb-t, dvb-s cards?

Oh dear... Another Medion offering... Take it from someone who used to work there... If you're buying this for Christmas, get ready for a disappointing one...
