SteveF: Sorry, the Tv tuner is for British freeview and is built to pick up those channels. It will not work in any other country.

2-Jan-2009 Lewis: Where you say this is "digital", will this mean that when the digital switchover happens this will still be able to work? Also, what programme do you need to then watch tv on the laptop? Anything thats free? And a cheeky question, you are stating this very good deal of half price, any idea when that offer may end?

david s: time scale of offer i dont know, but yes when switch over happens you will be fine

7-Jan-2009 Tim: Hi, will this work if plugged into an external analogue roof aerial or does it need a digital external aerial?

SteveF: Its a digital tuner so will need the equivalent aerial. It comes with a portable digital aerial but will benefit from buying either an internal or external aerial.

15-Jan-2009 Tomm: would a asus g2sg work with one of these?

SteveF: As long as its got a USB port, then yes.

20-Jan-2009 mark: why do i need TV license at my main residence to legally use this TV tuner, even tho i dont have a tv set or radio.

SteveF: If you plug that into your laptop and receive TV channels then it is classed as a TV, even though it can do other things so if you don't have a TV license, you will need to get one. If you need confirmation please give your local TV licensing office a call and I'm sure they'll be happy to explain.
