I'm thinking of eventually going vista - which has media centre in it. So, I am going to want to watch TV. I thought I would kill 2 birds with one stone - as the PC is in my room, and the satellite feed which is used for sky is downstairs I would get a digital tuner, so I coudl still watch TV in my room after the 2012 switch. But I have a question.

Is there such thing as a wireless digital TV Tuner?

At home the aireal we have is not a digital one (as we have sky for the digital switchover), so it wouldn't be able to get freeview. So is there a digtal/freeview TV Tuner card which has it's own little built in aireal type thing?

There are lots of them. The Terratec Hybrid Cinergy has analogue and digital, so you can also do video capture. It has its own tiny aerial which picks up zilch digital stations here downstairs and a smattering upstairs.
