This PCI card solution combines digital TV and radio reception via your PC, courtesy of the most widely used TV standard in the world, DVB-S. This has the advantage of not requiring a TV aerial to be connected, avoiding the usual plight of PC based TV tuner cards – pants reception. It also means that you can’t access the usual array of Freeview broadcast digital telly, of the type you get by plugging said aerial into a set top box, but again that’s no big loss if reception is poor to start with (digital TV via a poor signal is pixellated hell).
