As I have seen from the list there are loads of TV Cards out there and pros and cons to each. I need a TV card for my HTPC (I live in the UK) and I was hoping that someone could recommend the 'best' card for my needs....

- Must be able to watch and record freeview TV

- Ideally dual turner but will be happy with single turner

- strong turning as reception in berkshire (SE England) isnt amazing.

- Must come with Remote control compatible with MP.

- Ideally recording in a format compatible with ipod or Zen Vision M (preferably both).

- It needs to work when resuming from standby which I understand rules out the WinTV-NOVA-T-500

Recommendations welcome.

Thanks,

Alex : )
