    Is apparently a very good card. Has Freeview, and though it doesn't have specific FM input, you can get DAB channels on it.

    It does analogue capture too, although it's primarily a freeview tuner card, but from the reports I've read, it's capture is really rather good quality.

    I have the Nebula and it definately the best freeview card around it has an 7 day electronic programme guide and many other bits but it's not cheap its £119 ish. I would get a cheap SAA 713x card such as videomate gold cards(http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/category?category=19) these can be had for about £35 but this not freeview cards. I have an Tevion xpert 7134 (SAA 7134) but have issues with it so I can't recommend it but other people say its a good buy. None of the tv cards I know of can get DAB radio, you will have to buy a seperate card for that.

    I didn't mean that you could receive DAB broadcasts directly, but AFAIK, digital radio channels are broadcast on freeview (I have Sky, so I don't know from personal experience, but Sky has radio channels) and I think they're even broadcast at higher quality than over DAB transmission.
