DVB-T

Hi everyone!

I was browsing the stores and saw some of these new USB Stick TV receivers. They look like a bluetooth dongle for your wireless keyboard or mouse, but you plug an short antenna to it to get digital TV. It's a similar standard like the digital satellite TV.

Does anyone of you use such a thing? Or do you have a set top box with a DVB-T antenna?

And if you are using it, please tell me what kind of antenna you are using. The cheap antennas they give with the adaptors don't look like they are worth the try....

So long

Mario

Hi,
I use a K-World DVB 300U usb box, it is very good in strong signal areas, although with a house outdoor aerial. The antenna that you get supplied with would be more useful as a stirring stick for your cocktails, as when I lived in the city it would not even pick up one channel. They are good in concept overall, although you need a fairly modern pc with USB 2 in order to use these as PVR devices.
