ADS Instant TV DVB-T Cardbus

Disadvantages: Can't pay for some listed channels, No video editing software, Long recordings freeze the program

...one could get started right away without having to buy one. I bought a 2 way booster previously to use with my TV set antenna. SOFTWARE & PICTURE QUALITY Once I've scanned for channels and so long as DVB-T is selected as the source, you can watch TV. You can press the up or down buttons, the hidden number-pad in the main menu interface, or use the remote. The main menu slides open to reveal the number pad, which I think this looks really clever. There are navigation buttons on the screen window as well, which hides itself when in full screen mode until you move your mouse to the bottom to bring it back up. The interface looks nice and is laid out clearly with appropriately sized buttons, which have easily identifiable icons.

This means once you have installed it and its accompanying software, you can watch Digital Terrestrial (i.e. Freeview) TV on your computer. A USB version is also available but the one I have is the PCI version, which is installed inside a computer. I bought it for £54 including delivery off eBay but later found it at Ebuyer for just over £40. INSTALLING Installing it was pretty easy. I just turned off my computer, pulled out the power for safe measure, removed the back plate at an available PCI slot position, slotted the card in and then screw it down. That was the hardware installation done with. The rest was just to plug the power back in, fire up the computer and lastly install the drivers and software for the JetWay card from the CD provided...
