I got this DVB-T stick as the one of the cheapest digital receivers for my computer so that I could watch and record TV in my bedroom. Installation and setup are relatively straight forward, with autoscanning for all available channels being one click away. However, reception was not great, and there were a few problems.

Advantages: Cheap and compact Disadvantages: Lack of Teletext and BBCi
I have had this for well over a year and am really impressed with it. It's cheap, small and comes with a free aerial and remote control. Below I will outline the advantages and disadvantages;
Advantages
• Its small so it doesn't stick out too much and can be used on the move.
• The supplied aerial can pick up all the freeview channels. (I live in a medium strength area so if you only recieve a weak signal then you may need an amplified aerial).
• It comes with a free remote.
• It's incredibly cheap (about £30, less than a freeview box for a tv and a fraction of the size!)
• You can record your favourite TV program or film in high quality MPEG-4 with no copyright restrictions.
Disadvantage
• It can't access UK Teletext or BBCi.
