    Hey guys, just about to get a new laptop but unsure when it comes to getting TV.

    The two options as I see it are as follows:

    Getting a built-in analogue/digital TV tuner and attaching it to an ariel.

    Getting a USB freeview adaptor (been looking at www.tvstick.co.uk) and connecting that way

    I know this forum is predominantly US but I'd appreciate even a little help because I'm really stumped! Thanks!

    Only a very few notebook models have integrated TV tuners, therefore your best option is to get an external card.
