You might have been better posting in the PC section.
Anyhow, you need a DVB-T2 and DVB-S2 card, presuming you want HD.
BlackGold and TBS are the brands to look for. Hauppauge used to be OK, but they seem to have lost the plot.
I use Windows 7 Media Center for both Freeview and freesat. Both work OK, and I get a full 14 day EPG for both.
Lots of good advice here:

I don't know if this bug has been fixed, but I'd say avoid Blackgold.
and thanks for your help so far food for thought my TBS 6280 has worked faultless for a year now on win7 64Bit just thought I would move a little further forward
thanks again
