Title: Want to watch Digital TV on your computer?? Post by: ImMrChip on March 02, 2006, 11:22:51 AM I have just bought a Digital Tuner for my Computer and it is so good I felt I had to share it with you.
This is a truly remakable peice of kit, I bought it of ebay but a Google search will revel a number of suppliers. The ebay details are as follows: Freecom DVB-T USB TV Stick Digital TV tuner Brand New Item number: 8770177358 It as a very neat piece of kit, connecting through a USB2 port. After a little trial and error I now have 38 TV channels and over 40 Radio channels all running off an indoor aerial, goodness knows how many I would get if I connected to an external aerial. Picture quality is outstanding, loads of extras including pausing live tv, recording, infinite sizing from full screen to minuscule and lots more. I suppose reception will depend on location but if you live in a good reception area it is a must buy. Just one negative point the ariel supplied was not much use (in my case) but I bought a "One For All indoor antenna" product no:SV9020 from Maplin for £9.99 and that did the trick. How much I hear you ask, £42 including postage, unreal. I suppose it sounds like a sales pitch, but it is not, just felt some of you would be interested, watch TV while playing poker, it might break your concentration and give me more of a chance ;tk; Title: Re: Want to watch Digital TV on your computer??

Excellent bit of kit. I saw a friends son had one so I bought one for my son and one for me. I use it to watch Deal or No Deal in the office. In essence it's a freeview box the size of a USB memory stick with a wire attached to a small ariel. |
