[QUOTE="Smirnuff, post: 17758, member: 10545"] Lugiber, even though we have a widespread DVB-C service in the UK its not widely used on PCs, mostly due to the fact that there are no CAMs that can decrypt the channels so its rather a waste of money right now. Same has applied to DVB-S until recently also, although you are more likely to find a DVB-S card in a store like PC World than you would a DVB-C. DVB-T is still the most widespread. Other stores that you should consider visiting are PC World and Maplin, there is/was a Maplin on the corner of Edgeware Rd/Marble Arch - you'll also find some of the other big consumer electronics retailers in that area, Dixons for instance. All these areas are within easy walking distance of one another, probably a mornings worth of good hard shopping for you and you could always stop of at Soho for special London break on the walk from TCR to Marble Arch. Maplin stock a range including Hauppauge, Aver Media and Pinnacle. PC World carry Hauppauge and Pinnacle IIRC. And if you're into your designer clothes you should pop into the Stone Island/CP shop in Beak Street and pick me up a nice jacket while you're at it :D. [/QUOTE]
