Hi,

You get the stations on Freeview, but not the number you can get on Sky
or Cable packages.  (Enough for me though.)  I tried to count them but
some have been tuned in twice (to different frequencies) so I didn't
really get clear numbers easily.

In addition to the card of course you have to have a good enough aerial
and it's quite possible you'll need a new one fitted from a local
supplier.  This will mean your shopping around.  Prices vary.  They are
affected of course also by what you need in your area and your home.  We
have a bungalow and so had to have extra length fitted to the pole
(bracketed on the wall) so as to give enough height for a good signal.
Across the road, someone else had one fitted, but they required very
little extra height.

I suggest you start by going to look at

http://www.nebula-electronics.com

You can learn about the cards and prices and also check your Post Code
to see that you can get DigiTV in your area.

In addition, the Confederation of Aerial Industries lists dealers for
aerials in your area.  Their WEB Page is at

www.cai.org/uk

Tel.  020 8902 8998

I found a number of aerial fitters in our area from their list.

HTH:
