Hi again is it the DigiTv Master USB version at £42 51 plus vat? or the PCI
card at £76 95 plus Vat? Will I need a TV card to use either of these? The
USB one is the one I would Really like as I could use it on the laptop.
What do you think? Or was you looking at something else for Audeo
description as the site is So massive, I am not 100% sure? Thanks for your
help, and Oh, just noticed a phone number, 01689 885009
