How do I get digital TV via my computer?
It is possible to buy digital TV receivers for a PC or laptop. These come either as a simple plug-in USB device or as a card which is fitted inside the PC. Software supplied with the device allows you to tune in and view the channels, view the on-screen TV guide and text services. They also allow you to record programmes on to the computer hard drive, so effectively act just like a PVR. You will need experience in installing computer software – it does not always work first time.

Where can I get instructions for my STB – I’ve lost them?
Some manufacturers have copies of their instruction manuals available on their websites.  Note down the exact name and model number of your product and see Links for details of all manufacturer’s websites and customer helplines for products we have tested.

Which models have digital audio output?
Details of the audio specification of all the iDTVs, set top boxes and digital TV recorders is given in the ‘AV connections’ section of each product’s detailed test report (linked from the summary test report).
