Still have to use windows, but if you want to check out a pretty good solution Beyond TV has had some pretty good reviews. Sage TV I have heard good things about but haven't tried.

Hi, my freeview is jut fine. I think that it may be your box rather than the signal as they are made on the cheap. if it does work, watch Goldeneye on ITV2. It's great.

Well cheap it is no doubt, but i used it and had several issues with their browser and bundled software, had to remove it and reinstall it and several other issues, perhaps they have now remediated this issues since they have been out there for quite a bit now. I experience this issues when they started providing internet service... U get what you pay for....good luck

Slingbox. \n\nThey cost more than that though (UK version has freeview tuner) - about £150 -180.\nhttp://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/editorial/Watch%20TV%20Anywhere%20with%20Slingbox?camp_id=ppc_slingbox\nhttp://www.pcw.co.uk/personal-computer-world/hardware/2157099/sling-media-slingbox

its actually very simple.. and will cost you about 60+ dollars. what you need is a tv tuner card and you want to make sure it is pcmcia card. you can buy it off of newegg.com or tigerdirect.com

im not sure of the price difference, but i believe Xp media center is Professional with added goodies.\n\nI believe this because it supports/has Remote Desktop built in, it has System restore built in.\n\nBut if your into music, pictures, videos and watching tv (if your computer has a tv tuner) then its well worth it. For me it was.\n\nif you do decide to get it try out microsoft.com for some cool pieces of software to help further personalize it.\n\n(you can also download programs for home too so either way take a look)

Gotta agree w/ The Expert for the most part, except...\n\nAs a system builder and semi-high end user, I always recommend that a buyer go w/ "custom" built system assembeled by a local trustworthy shop...The reason for this is you will get pretty much exactly what you want for your specific needs, will easily be upgradable in the future, service will get done quicker, and you're putting $$ in the pocket of a local merchant instead of a corporate entity...\n\nThat being said, think about this...Spend most of your money on the things you're going to keep over the long haul...Like a monitor, speakers, etc...A monitor is like a TV when you buy it...You're going to be keeping it for a LONG time... Same thing goes w/ speakers...\n\nJust remember, a Brand Name system has built-in obsolensece, which is fine if you're just gonna surf the Web and read e-mail like yer Grandma does, whereas a "built" system can be upgraded many times for a LOT less than what you'll spend for a new system down the road...I have a system case that  I've had for over 7 years, and have upgraded 4 times....  \n\nWhile you might pay a little more for a "built" unit, just remember that things like your video card, sound card, network card, CD/DVD, and Hard Drives won't need to be replaced, so that all you have to do is just get a new mobo/CPU, and RAM, and yer good to go....

Does the PC have a TV Tuner? You don't need it but you'd be missing out on a lot of the media center experience(PVR Function) without it. Also, goto Microsoft's web-site and see if the compy has the specs to run Windows XP, if it does- you can installl media center edition.\n\nThere's a catch though- MS doesn't sell a retail boxed version of media center, you can't just goto best buy or staples to buy it... The only places you'll find it are pre-installed on a new pc, or from an online retailer in whats called a shrink-wrapped "oem" version that you'll have to purchase with a piece of hardware. I have no idea why MS doesn't just sell the product in a retail version.

i think TVkoo is much better than any TV software I used. Both faster and better quality.

Virgin either have, or are soon, buying NTL who have bought ITV. This means that NTL and Virgin will be one and the same. I don't know if that would affect your decision but I know it would mine as my experiences with NTL have been dire!! I'm afraid I don't know anything about the package you have been offered tho and must admit it sounds good......maybe try it and see how it goes??

Well, you can always pray that what happened to me happens to you.  About 4 weeks ago I mishit some buttons and found out that I had channels I didn't know about.  I only pay for basic cable, but somehow I'm getting more than that but it isn't exactly the right configuration for what is expanded around her.  And I get the SciFi channel.\n\nOr you can call you parents and convince them that you want it for your christmas and b-day presents.
