  • Might be worth checking out the Amazon sight and reading the reviews on the item above.
    Not very encouraging and it doesnt support Vista.

    I purchased a Tevion USB DVB-T Tuner for £19.99 from Aldi on Thursday 8th May they still had stocks yesterday. You get two aerials with this there is a small one and a magnetic one with a USB booster adapter to improve the reception, I have received Freeview using this upstairs in my house in an area that is not supposed to recieve freeview. You can record tv etc and have an EPG either through freeview or the internet. It also comes with a remote control and a 3 year warranty...


    I`ve purchased this too and can`t believe how good it is. It also comes with software that allows you to convert your recordings and load them on your i pod, psp and other portable media players. I`ve been looking to buy one of these for a while now and am delighted with my choice.

    A lot of these are for sale now from £9.99 one thing to remember most are not backwards compatible with anything other than usb 2.

    Plus you need a good aerial plugged in.

    Ummm what is an EPG (sure I don't NEED to know just interested etc...)
    Green and minimal chemicals is the new black- I know a fair old bit about sustainability, specially energy and transport stuff. If I can help- please ask!
