Why not help yourself to a TV Tuner for your PC just in time for Christmas? Of course, the TV schedule may not be too good, but that is a matter of taste. HEXUS.net have a review of a pair of Digital TV receivers from Twinhan. The "DTV MagicBox" is a USB model, useful for laptop owners, perhaps. The "VisionDTV" is a PCI solution.
From the review: 'Between the two products you've seen here, Twinhan have covered all their bases for anybody wanting a straightforward device enabling them to view terrestrial digital television on their PC.'
