PC TV/Radio tuner card advice

Can any one please recommend a PCI card that will receive both TV and
radio? (digital only as analogue has recently been turned off).

The ability to recieve and record radio programmes (so I can convert
them to whatever format I need to in order to listen to them on an MP3
player) will be the prime function of the card, recording TV is a
secondary consideration.

I have a Humax PVR-9200T, but the hoops I'd have to go through to be
able to transfer recordings to a PC seem to be beyond me

I'm using a USB device: AverTV6. it seems to work OK.

Another point, just in case it's relevant - I'm running 64 bit Vista

Of course you might consider waiting until the DVB-t2 cards
become available ...

Ohhh! That brings a whole new world of pain to the 'Press the red
button' command!

DBViewer is nice software which supports a range of hardware.
I have it and use it with a Hauppauge DVB-S2 card for TV and radio
channels..

I would expect any 'digital' Freeview or satellite card to be able to
receive the radio channels on those platforms.

The BBC have adopted AAC for some of their internet radio so you may find
that that is better quality.

I assume the many radio streaming sites and a card and software are not what
you are after then?

Could be - as long as it achieves what I want to do which is to be
able to record radio programmes using some sort of EPG, initially from
the BBC, and convert them in order that they can be listened to on an
MP3 player - effectively all I'm trying to do is timeshift some
programmes and not have to use a PC/Radio etc to listen to them

Cheap and simple would be fine!

Even better - how about free, using get_iplayer and its PVR front-end.
It's still in development but it's excellent.

Yes, let's all bring the Internet to a crawl by vacating a perfectly-useable
broadcast bandwidth. If you've already got a dish and cabling why not get a
dual-tuner PCI card? Dabs has such an item for just over 80 quid, this one
works with quad LNBs and that's just one of them.
