Thinking of getting a Freecom DVB-T USB for one of my shuttle's thats just about to be come surplus to requirements, i am thinking of turning it into a MCE system.

I'm looking at a USB device cos i don't have any available slots in the shuttle (PCI is taken by the Gigabit LAN card) also i would have to use the supplied aerial as there no available socket for the rooftop one.

Anyone got one , used one etc opinions and views greatfully accepted.

Havn't used one but in my experience DVB if all great in term of quality. Software changes between each though. Make sure that the drivers support MCE if your going that root.

Dunno what the price is like on the freecoms but my Terratec T2 is fantastic and the supplied Power DVD version is MCE compatible too!
