[QUOTE="Owlsroost, post: 1151489, member: 83973"] UK Freeview has (currently) two muxes that carry HD content in DVB-T[B]2[/B] format, provided that your local transmitter carries them. All you need is a DVB-T[B]2[/B] capable tuner card or USB stick. That will give you almost all the BBC channels plus ITV and CH4/CH4+1 in HD. Which Freeview transmitter do you receive ? This is the channel list for Crystal Palace transmitter - [URL]https://ukfree.tv/transmitters/tv/Crystal_Palace[/URL] I've got a couple of these cheap USB DVB-T2 sticks - [URL]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MiNi-DVB-T2-Digital-HDTV-USB-TV-Stick-DV-ESY1-Remote-Recorder-Receiver-FM-DAB-C-/151302022257?hash=item233a4da471[/URL] (other Ebay vendors sell the same thing - the base hardware design and drivers are from here - [URL]http://www.astrometa.com.tw/integrated_en.html[/URL] ). They work OK but are a bit slow to tune the HD channels (several seconds). At the other end of the USB stick price range, the PCTV 290e and 292e are very good - [URL]http://www.amazon.co.uk/PCTV-Systems-DVB-T2-nanoStick-Tuner/dp/B004C1176E[/URL] (I've been using a 290e for several years with no problems at all). But you can by three of the cheap ones off Ebay for the price of a 292e... I suspect the ideal combo might be a 292e plus a cheap one for the situations where you need to watch/record from two different HD muxes at the same time. (Note the DVB-T2 tuners will also handle DVB-T for the SD channels). [/QUOTE]
