The Freecom DVB-T is the worst gadget I’ve bought in a long time. It’s a USB Digital TV tuner, so you can watch Freeview etc. on your laptop. That sounds handy. No it’s arse. because it doesn’t work.

With the supplied aerial I get zero signal and a channel scan predictably resulted in no channels found. This surprised me as I live in an area with very good digital TV reception. I plugged it into the main rooftop aerial (not exactly “portable” but it was a test), re-scanned; this time it found some channels but couldn’t display any picture and all I got was some stuttering audio.
If this doesn’t work even through a rooftop aerial then what soddin’ good is it?? – None. Avoid this like the plague, this is toy product that basically doesn’t work, I’ve seen better engineering fall out of a Christmas cracker.
