[QUOTE="Topper, post: 156467, member: 186250"] The females outnumber me at home and despite having my satellite set-up I very seldon get to watch anything as we only have two TV's each one guarded by a different female. So I bit the bullet and purchased a Freecom DVB-T Usb Stick. Looked reasonably priced at £35.00 but with VAT and and carriage came to £46.00. (doesn't it always) However when I received the parcel it was about the size of a mobile phone box. Inside was mostly cardboard box and fresh air which I [B]may[/B] have appreciated had I been two years old.... Inside the box was the USB stick approx 6cm long a stick on aeriel a credit card sized remote control cd rom and usb extender lead. Inserted disk as instructed, plugged in and software installed, received message low signal. In fairness the Winter Hill transmitter is hidden behind a hill hence the reason for satellite tv many years ago. A quick trip to the loft found a thirty year old tv aerial which I mounted in the loft and pointed in general direction, switched on and whooo whoo 93 tv and radio stations to play with. My pc is a bit long in the tooth (3 1/2 years old) but it still managed (just ) to cope with live TV. The control skin is a tad small for someone of my age but everything seems to work fine, there is a full 7 day EPG wiich is very useful and despite the age of my PC the picture quality is excellent.
