Lots of USB tuners out there - try Dabs, Misco, Novatech, Aria etc and Maplin or Savastore.

Why only analogue - I was going to recommend the new Freecom USB stick with Freeview. Looks good, thinking of buying one. Lots of reviews on Dabs.

Hopefully you might get Freeview or the new BBC/ITV free satellite when they attempt to switch off analogue.
