Freeview For PC
Hi
I've built my stepson a PC, and we've got him a 3D Monitor which has HDMI & VGA Ports.
I want to set him up some TV that he can use through his monitor, and i'm wondering which is the best way? Any ideas?

Re: Freeview For PC
If the monitor is HDCP compliant, any HDMI freeview/freesat box can be plugged into it

Re: Freeview For PC
tvcatchup.com is certainly the easiest way. If you want a more regular TV-on-PC experience then you want a Freeview compatible tuner and Windows Media Centre.
Blackgold offer a couple of Freeview HD compatible tuners, one looks to be able to handle four channels at once.
WMC is easy to setup and is fantastic PVR software.
