Replying to my self here...

Thanks to everyone for their comments. My current PC is getting antiquated
I'll probably get a new quad-core box in the new year, so I wasn't expecting
to watch much HD until I had a new PC anyway.

I'm mostly relieved to hear that they do work - assuming you have good basic
reception. Thanks for the offers of loans but I'll probably just buy one
anyway, they aren't much on Amazon.
