 Awesome bit of kit August 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this as I wanted to watch the Olympics whilst away camping in my camper. We toured many places and only 1 place didnt have a reception.
Pulled into Bude found 48 channels including BBC1 and its interactive channels for the Olympics. Found a random farmers field on top of a hill near Boscastle, still had signal. Polzeath didn't get anything :(
Crantock was fine as well. Then went in land to Stythian near Falmouth and found 107 channels!! Unfortunatly at home in Farnborough nothing :( going to have to find the tv cable in the loft from the aerial.
I would of given 5 stars as really it is an awesome little bit of kit, very easy to install (after I had to email August to get another serial number as it didnt like the one that came on the cd) and very easy to use. But you dont get signal everywhere and unless you attach the aerial to something metal (ie: campervan Roof). Obviously the digital reception is up to the people that control it and as soon as digital is everywhere there is not alot you can do.
 magic freeview device August 19, 2008
I got this as a birthday present from my parent. It is really a little magic device. I can now watch full suite of Freeview TV channels in perfect quality on my new laptop. It can be scheduled to record your favourite program at a particular time in case you are not in. Additionally, it also supports DVD playback. The small portable antenna provided doesn't work very well, but no problem with my roof aerial. Overall, I am very pleased and look forward to spending a lot of time with it.

Even though in the area i live there is a strong signal,the aerial received nothing at all so i had to plug it into a tv socket and after many times of scanning the channels i still got nothing!i tried it on other systems in the house and the problem was still the same!very bad product!and worse customer service!

Like others I've read here (unfortunatley after purchase) Mine is not receiving any signal atall.. I live in white city, minutes away from the BBC. No L.E.D on the USB, my Sony Vaio running vista recognizes the USB but nothing.. I've re-installed, the drivers are apparently working, the stick is getting hot but no cigar.. I'm really pi**ed off to have wasted my time and money on this utter tosh...

Flimsy piece of kit. Lasted one day and the USB connector into the aerial buckled and broke. It will be going back! Additionally the supplied aerial is dreadful...and I live in a good signal area. A duffer...dont bother.
