freeview? Analog? from a sky box?

If you have a decent UHF antenna, best bet is to get any DVB-T device, and use it to record Freeview|HD.

And after you record it what do you want to do with it?

I'm also assuming your P4 isn't 266MHz as they were never that slow.

Like has been previously asked what TV source DVB-T, DVB-S, analogue or Sky?
