Anyone tested these on a mediator yet?

For those outside the UK, "Freeview cards" are DVB-T receiver cards.

I'd be surprised if these have drivers... And certainly any 680x0-based (and probably PPC-based too) Amiga would choke on the resulting MPEG-2 transport stream.

Probably best stick to analogue TV, or use a PC for DVB broadcasts...

They should in theory work if you use one with a mpeg2 hardware decoder chip. But i highly doubt there is any driver for it anyways.
