Thanks, I got confused, I do mean low profile :)

Oh, that surprises me, on the hauppauge website it suggests the PVR-150
does PAL, so I assumed this would be OK for UK digital... but looking
closer, it says "Included in this package: ... Analogue TV tuner" not
digital... 

OK.  So now what card can I get in Low Profile that WILL do digital TV
in the UK?

Thanks again!
