For about £50 you can buy a USB Freeview adapter.
I have tried one and they work very well.

Something Like This http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0315385538.1153605382@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccccaddigifkehgcflgceggdhhmdgmk.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=993047&category_oid=

for £23 although you need a better areil than the one supplied, prefereably an external ariel.

There was a comparison of six of the usb stick freeview receivers in Personal Computer World a couple of months back. The review is here http://www.pcw.co.uk/personal-computer-world/compare/2153973/miniature-usb-tv-tuners

What would one need a gazelle for when watching television?

[FONT=&quot]I can see Belmont transmitter from the window but the small supplied antenna with my USB freeview stick is still not sufficient. I understand this is because the freeview/digital transmission power is being held down prior to analogue switch off (problem with interference) (see: [/FONT]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belmont_Transmitter)

A Tesco indoor antenna does work OK though![/FONT]

yeah I wouldnt pay more that £24 - £28 for a digi tv card for the lappy. The standard ariels are not great though. I have to hook mine up to roof ariel when in the house.
