using Windvr, scanning on Pal I gives me 7 channels

You can watch ITV 3 and 4 through simulcast and BBC 3 and 4 through iPlayer so it's hardly worth getting a set-top box if you've got good broadband. see the &quot;watch&quot; links on <a href="http://www.tvguide.co.uk" rel="ugc">www.tvguide.co.uk</a>&nbsp;for the ITV digital channels and <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer" rel="ugc">www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer</a>&nbsp;for the BBC digital ones.<br />

PAL 1 must be a typo, it's PAL I. Dunno why they call them set-top boxes, mine keeps falling off my flat screen TV ;)<br />

Im in the UK and I have just bought a generic tv tuner which only seems to be able to receive 7 channels. On the box it says PAL-I and PAL_B/G modes are supported (not sure what that means)<br />
<br />
Ok so it was really cheap but do I need a freeview box as well? How can I tell for sure.<br />
<br />
Thanks.
