Hi guys need help.

Want to get a TV tuner card for the PC.

Has to be able to pick up Freeview (ie digital TV for those not in the UK.) But the main reason that I want to have one is that I want to be able to input a signal from a VCR so I can transfer my daughters videos to DVD.

I have seen a few that have S-video and composite input. I have also seen others that have SCART but they are way expensive.

I'd be connecting my video to the tuner card via the coax cable just as you'd do with a TV.

So any advice as to what is a good make and what features I am looking for. Hardware MPEG encoding is a plus but not necessary.

I can go up to about £70.

Cheers
