Customer reviews for the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T Digital DVB-T USB Stick

I'd have to say that this is the single most dissapointing piece of technology I've ever purchased. The printed material that comes out of the box is all in Sweedish. The small portable aerial supplied could not pick up a single channel in my area (and I have other freeview equipment working fine off 'indoor' aerials), so if you want to use this at differnt loactions that don't have a proper roof or loft feed, you will need to invest in an amplified portable aerial. Finally the user interface is confusing and not very friendly. Why can't the available channels be displayed and selected without having to go through several stages of menus to get to them?

The Pinnacle options have to be better than this!

I thought this would be great for watching TV on the go. I installed the software on my laptop easily, plugged in the aerial for TV tunning and placed it on the wrist-rest of the laptop.

My hardrive lies just below this and for some reason (unknown to me at the time) the aerial has a strong magnet at the base of it!

So the magnet damaged my hardrive, and I've lost all my work and OS etc!!

Don't make the same mistake as me!!!!

I purchased this product under the belief that I could watch TV next to anywhere to say the least I was wrong the so called aerial that comes with this I cant pick any channels up anywhere that I try the only way you can get any reception is off a house roof aerial even then its not great when you do get the channels working its ok
