Digital TV free view box

http://www.defyne.org/dvb/driver.html

That should do, as the FreeView is, AFAIK, simply a "traditional" DVB-T broadcast and the same hardware equipment should work in all countries using DVB-T (i.e. at least all European countries having digital broadcasts and Australia).

Can't assist you further than that with the drivers as I don't have Mac

EDIT: And FreeView uses an aerial, indoor aerial should do just fine in the UK. Remember that digital TV is broadcast-type dependant, so your DVB-T equipment doesn't work with DVB-S (satellite, such as Sky Digital) or DVB-C (digital cable, such as ntl or Telewest) and vice versa. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Petteri Pyyny

Np. The real annoyance with digiTV is really the DVB-T/S/C non-compatibility. I.e. if you buy a TV with integrated FreeView in it, its useless if you plan to get digital cable or digital satellite at some point. And same applies for digiboxes, PC cards, etc -- DVB-S box can't receive DVB-T broadcasts, etc.

But obviously, the quality compared to analog, specially when capturing to a PC, is simply awesome at best cases.

 

From the devices listed on that page, I would probably buy Hauppauge as it is (remember not to get fooled by their model selection as they tend to have hundreds of models, write down the exact name fairly common card amongst Windows users and I would assume it is relatively popular with Mac users as well, which normally means better support in terms of tools, etc.
