For all the gadget lovers who want to keep up to date with whats happening on the TV or radio while they are on their computer or laptop, here we have the Freecom DVB-T TV USB Stick. This allows you to watch Freeview digital TV up to full screen, or digital radio on your computer while you are in the office or even your car.
You can even record your favourite digital TV programs straight onto your PC or CD/DVD using the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG). It will also allow you to pause a live programme the same as Sky+ works. With it being USB it works the same way as any other USB device and installs in seconds onto your system. The detachable DVB-T antenna allows the best transmission of the Freeview channels giving great quality.
It only costs around £40 and comes with a remote control and 2 years manufacture’s warranty. You don’t need an AC adapter as it is powered via the USB connector.
where can I buy this one?
and by the way how’s the reception? and can I connect the aerial instead of the antenna?
Hi Alias
Probably the best and cheapest place to buy one of these Freecom USB antennas is from Ebuyer, at £42.12 incl VAT.
The reception should be good as the Freeview coverage in the UK is widespread. It is being hailed as a complete TV substitute.

I have one and its great- picture quality, sound are all super. The epg is great too. At this price it really is the best.
I’m in Hants and I have only used a modest loft type antenna plus a booster- and thats all. Picture can be 4:3 or 16:9 or can be left to change on its own. Feature packed software on par with Hauppage Wintv software but far easier to install and setup.
And there is a plus too, on digital tv channels you have that horrid ‘press red’ sign popping up at intervals- well cos there are no interactive features on the usb stick- you don’t suffer that press red button crap on the screen- very important for home made dvds – great huh
