Yeah right. That was my first time bidding on ebay. I have a lot to learn. I put my bid in in the very last half minute too:

hehe. You need to put in a high bid. I big early so it might discourage some people if they see something for £20 instead of a low bid of £7 and bidding at the end (called sniping).

Which one are you buying if you don't mind me asking? I could do with a better one

[jarl]

lol, try and get one that ends at a stupid time (over lunch or like 2 am) then that wont happen hopefully, theyre £30 new, so £20 was better... just make sure u have a proper arial if u want to watch tv (the roof ones)

Hah, the post and packaging costed £2 for that ebay one, and for a second-hand item, I wasn't prepared to pay more than £20 including post and packaging, so I wasn't too disappointed.

I got my TV tuner a week ago (Pinnacle PCTV Rave, £30), and it works, it works!

The sound gets plugged straight into the line-in from one of those Y-plugs things, and the video through the tuner through composite. Video quality is fine. Pity about the S-Video. The quality from S-video is so much better than composite; I cannot believe that PAL Gamecubes don't support it!

D-Scaler is brilliant third party software. Now I can watch fuzzy TV too.

Many thanks to you, jarl and decswxaqz!
