USB DVB TV Tuner

CrazyChemist_2

I'm looking for a Digital DVB TV Tuner to use for a laptop which I am due to purchase soon... I saw it in Dixons a few weeks ago for £49.99 and it was capable of receiving all the digital tv channels as with freeview.

However, I can't find it anymore and can only find the normal analog tuner which will be outdated within a few years when we switch to digital

Any ideas on where to find it for a good price? It's too costly to get one which is incorporated into the laptop. Thanks in advance (and I'll click thanks too :j)

Excellent! Thank you! Fantastic price too and it does digital radio as well. Reckon the price will hold for a couple of weeks while my laptop is delivered?

Now I just need to get a TV Ariel for it!

OK this store is looking dodgy and I'm not going to buy from them till they reply to emails about the TV Tuner. Their main site https://www.wirral.it seems to have changed to easi.it - not sure what's going on - does anyone else know?

The freecom one from microdirect is also available from Dabs .I have always found them excellent to deal with.

Hmmm, the price is about a tenner more than wirral.it.

However, this one includes the ariel too doesn't it? That may make it worth the extra bit

Read the reviews on Dabs.It all depends if you are in a good freeview area on not.If you aren't its probably better to get the one without and hook it up to an aerial.I suppose it depends if you want to use it in more than one place.The alternative maye to get a laptop with Media Center Edition on.
