TV Card for a Laptop (USB)

Hello,
I'm after a TV Card for my laptop with a USB Connection - I notice there are some newer digital ones out there with a mini ariel supplied - are these worth it and what's the cheapest any of you have found one at?
It's to use in a built up area with lots of buildings around so if I can pick up digital channels that would be amazing.
Also do the digital ones also pick up the 5 analog channels or just thru digital? I ask because where I will be using it there is a normal ariel lead which provides NTL Channels through an analog signal which is supposed to connect to a TV. However, space is at a premium so if I could use the laptop for TV too it would be a bonus. Do you know if a digital tv card would pick up the analog channels from the NTL cable?
Cheers,
Myosin

This one from Ebuyer is £38.29 +P&P and has received mostly good reviews although as albertross says, it all depends on the strength of signal in your area. Also available from Staples for around the fifty quid mark.He huihuinga taangata he pukenga whakaaro – A meeting of people; a wellspring of ideas (Maori proverb)0
