looking at x1800xl all in wonder but will tv tuner work?

[natastna2]

Hi I'm about to buy an x1800xl all in wonder card someone pointed out that it says NTSC analogue video format instead of PAL and I'm in ENgland. http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=3WZF&SearchType=1&SearchTerms=x1800xl&PageMode=3&SearchKey=All&SearchMode=All&NavigationKey=0&v=2#infoarea

Would this still work or is there not much point in me buying an all in wonder card with a non working tv tuner? Could I buy something to convert the signal? Thanks alot for your help guys. Ant.

buy a seperate tv card for about £30 to except digital braodcasts these all in wonder cards are crap for tv, they only except analog signals which will be switched off in the UK in 2009 to 2012.

ahh good thinking, yes analogue, i see, ok will buy the xt. Saved me from a mistake there, you gotta see why i liked the look of it though so many SHINY features Could I get a remote control for my pc anyways?
