TV Headend in Linux (working on a Raspberry Pi or similar) isn't a bad solution - you get the Freeview and Freeview HD EPG, can schedule recordings etc.
I have a paid-for copy of DVB Viewer which is also very useful in Windows.
Re WTV, When I used to use the 'MC-TV converter' for WTV videos, I had to edit my own script into it so I would get the untouched MPEG2 video, all the built in options either deinterlaced it, etc. They might have updated it though since then though.
I've used ffmpeg with .wtv files for ages now. It supports audio and video streams well - though subtitles are a bit of an issue.
Cheers for the suggestions, will give them a go.
I sometimes use a generic DVB T2 USB stick but I could never find any reliable software to just record the streams with - I find it easier to work with a generic no brand DVB-T2 STB, about 15 quid, which records the raw output onto a USB drive which lets me do what I want with.
