External TV tuners - need advice

["egelbeertje" <r_d_k@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

My cable company (here in Belgium that is) decided that in order to
imoprove the quality of their service they had to swap about 75% of
channels to different frequencies. A major pain in the ....whatever
knowing you have to reprogram all the vcr's and tv's in the house.
Big bugger it turns out they have moved 8 of the 32 channels into a
frequency band my 14 year old faithfull Samsung bedroom tv can't cope
with.

Now complaining to these mammoth companies unfortunately will be to
no avail - or drag on for years - so I'm looking to get hold of an
external Tuner - not a vcr - in a very small package. (no space to
put it soo need to be small and have remnmote control)

I found a Grandtec Metaviewer or Televiewer which seems to do the
trick - any one experienced on these thingies ?
