An excellent product.

The features list is endless and there is so much more this product can offer you than other competitors.

If you have a network, everyone on your network can share tv with you.

The installation is very easy to do and you can get the tv card working with your computer in a matter of minutes.

The auto-tune facility takes around 30 seconds, compared with over 20 minutes for the same type of search with the wintv nova-t.

Digital text, and interactive content works well, there are some bugs left but new software is available every couple of weeks for this card and always offers more functionality.

This is one of the few DTT TV Cards that comes with a remote control, the control works well and you can get it to operate other applications on your computer too (winamp for example).

It is very easy to record tv shows, with an 80gb harddrive, you can store many hours of tv, and play it back when you like. The card also comes with software so that you can save the tv to a dvd and then play it back in a dvd player.

Freeview has more and more channels every day, and you will be able to pick all of these up with this new card. BBC1 ,2,3,4, ITV 1,2,3 Channel 4, five, Cbeebies, CBBC, ABC1, News24, Sky News, The Hits, TMF, Sky Travel, UKTV Brightideas, ftn, BBCi Interactive, as well as around 20 radio stations.

Their website mentions that an upgrade will be available soon that will allow you to watch top-up.tv channels (UKTV Gold, E4, Television X, Discovery, Boomerang, Cartoon Network).

The card also comes with an analogue input so that you can record video off a camcorder onto your tv, which works very well and offers many formats to save your video as.

The card offers a pass-through connection with booster. So if you only have one television point in your room, you can plug the aerial into this card, then another from the output into your other tv. The booster works well and i have seen a significant picture quality improvement on my tv since plugging it in via my card.

In conclusion, this tv card is much better than any other card on the market, and although you pay a premium for this, it is definitely worth it. There are many other features on the way which you can see on their website. After swapping my nova-t card for this one, i have no regrets and don't look back. The picture quality is excellent, choice is fantastic and if you have a home network, you can even share the tv with all your other computers.
