Afraid I won't be talking about Unity as Ian S has suggested - I have only ever used it briefly and never really quite got what it was all about. However if there is any spare time I could bring a DVB-T card for use with laptops I got recently. It seems to be a live one, lights up and is seen by a laptop and various Linux software applications for viewing TV. Alas, not scanning any channels. Perhaps someone knows all about this, or at any rate more than I do. The device in question is badged as an HP EC300 and has a DIBcom chipset. ~ Ian Y

When I messed about with this briefly several years ago, I remember you needed a good antenna signal. Trying to run a lead from the living room into my office didn’t work well at all.

OK, I've put Ian S down for unity then and Ian Y for the DBV-T card: https://www.meetup.com/WaikatoLinuxUsersGroup/events/237234793/ Just a couple more desktop environments. KDE, XFCE anyone?.
