 Don't expect too much August 6, 2008
Bought this to use on my desktop PC in the bedroom, don't have enough room for a TV. On the face of it, it seemed like a cheap & easy way of getting TV into this room. Unfortunately, although I live in a good reception area for digital, the aerial supplied would not pick up any signals.
I then moved my computer downstairs to the aerial that I use in the living room, this has a Grundig digital receiver on it that receives all available digital signals. Once the unit was connected to the computer using this aerial I managed to get 14 channels unfortunately non of the BBC channels or the major ITV channels.
After doing a bit of research it would seem that until the analogue channels are stopped digital is being broadcast at a reduced power. So I have decided to keep the unit until the change over & try it again then.
If you have broadband you can get most of the digital channels using a bit of software from Zattoo (www.zattoo.com) thus to a large extent removing the need for this type of device.
 Rubbish product August 1, 2008
I purchased this product as I noticed many reviews from which many positive.
The product is rubbish with its aerial.Even with my home aerial I picked up only few channels.
The reason why I purchased such an item is because I need it when I go camping to watch TV on my laptop.
Without a PROPER big aerial this will not work.
So buy something else.
 This is a fantastic product July 24, 2008
If you're like me and always a bit dubious of buying things like this online DON'E BE! firstly check out have many people have bought this and left really good feedback compared to all the other products, and then just buy it.
Apart from the fact it's really really cheap, it really really works very well, even if like me you invest in another aerial like the slxa from argos that costs 9.99 and dc adapter which you'll probably already own it is still going to work out the cheapest.
I get all the freeview channels and the reception is really good, and i live in an area that has problems getting a decent channel without the aerial being the size of a sky scraper.
The channels are all clear and i get no ghosting, stuttering or white lines.
I have this plugged into my desktop pc and hooked upto my hdtv, i am no tech wizzard but this is as easy as 123 to set up.
In case you didn't read of the tech review you can actually record programs with this too whilst your down the pub so you can watch a favourite program later, and yes it's as easy as 123 to do that too.
This has to be the best money i have spent on a bargain in a very very long time.
Weak signal?! July 23, 2008
I bought this to replace an old, broken one by a different brand. Credit to the seller, it turned up quickly and carefully wrapped. But where my old one came up with 70-80 channels when plugged in to the main aerial, this one comes up with... none. It just says "weak signal" on the screen? Complete waste of money; I'd give it a 0 star review if it were possible.
Worth every penny! July 21, 2008
Like most other reviewers... Can't grumble about this for the price!
As everyone else has recommended... Ditch the puny aerial that comes with it and plug it in to the rooftop... Piece of cake to install, just bear in mind that the dongle is quite large. I've got a pci card with 4 USB slots on the rear of my PC, and it won't fit alongside another plug due to it's size. Happily mounted on a usb with a bit of space around it though! Software was a piece of cake for windows to find and install it. Though it comes on a mini cd-rom which my machine can't play! No problem to stick it in the laptop and copy it across to a pen drive and install on the desktop machine though.
My only complaint, is that the EPG program guide is very very slow to load... May only be me/my aerial but it makes scheduling recordings a bit of a pain...
If you're thinking of getting a TV dongle, this one's hard to beat.
