[Ddm5]

Tempted to buy myself 2 Dell ultrasharp monitors having them side by side, does anyone know of any cheap T.v / freeview cards for PC?, Pci-e preferred.

Almost all of tv cards are old AGP based cards

but here is one:http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/HAU-236

Ye you can just buy one and then use windows media centre and that will allow you to watch freeview.

Yea, was going to give my T.v to my father as I never use it and just dual monitor with freeview in the nights when I feel like it.

why are you thinking of buying a tv card when you could just use http://tvcatchup.com/ as long as you have a tv license its legal to use.

Download and install XBMC. Then cream yourself over the amount of TV add-ons available :P No card needed, uses tinterweb.
