Thanks again for replies,

No high definition isnt something for me, I think it is more an american 
thing :) in europe High definition doesnt get really good support. Dont 
have that kind of tv, and also dont know where to get it around here :)
I will look around for a desent tuner card, will check out those 
mentioned before.
Thanks again for the replies, if I got more questions, (I am not a linux 
guru) I be back to bother you all again :)  :)
