bytie_bit

Looking for the best prices or cheaper for a laptop of DVB-T so I can watch free bbc digital channels like Kyton Clickandbuild.com.

Artec T1 Digital USB TV Box - £34.03
FREECOM DVB-T USB Stick With Remote Control Unit - £42.54

Thanks!. :xmastree:

Be careful. I bought the Freecom one and haven't found anywhere with a good enough signal yet. You may need a big aerial.

Just a quick question, with the DVB-T do you need an aerial connection or does it use some form of receiver?.

Can you get one of these for a standard TV?..



Thanks

The prices you quote are excluding VAT

The Freecom stick is available from amazon - they keep changing the price but I think it is currently £43.99 including VAT & delivery (has been as low as £42.28)

Yes you do need an aerial of some kind.

There is a 6inch twig that comes with the stick,

but unless you have extremely strong, good quality signals I'm not sure how good a reception you'll get

You can plug them into external aerials. A baby like this (with decent coax) should help you get a decent reception:


Kind of negates the advantage of a small memory stick device though


Oh... and before anyone asks, yes you do need a valid TV licence to legally receive TV broadcast signals however they are received.

Thanks for the response, chaps. I might look into getting one of these myself now!!

all the best
