| 648697 | 2008-03-12 08:17:00 | I have a usb tuner my friend got me overseas it's not made to work with nz standards so obviously the supplied software does not work however since it can receive the signals, all I need to do was to get 3rd party software and waste few hours on tweaking then it works :p the time-wasting should decrease when more and more people use dvb-t and post their findings the antenna I use came with the tuner, it's one of those little ones only about 15cm long if it's put on the right place pointing at the right direction I can get some pretty decent signals and of course signals are always pretty much perfect when hooked up to my roof antenna ...now all I need is a computer fast enough to watch the high-def stuff AthlonXP simply doesn't do the trick... |

| 648701 | 2008-03-13 00:42:00 | Ok then people what TV tuner should I buy? What one will be easiest to set up and could best utilize a non-roof aerial? (remember the USB and HD thing) | AST (13503) | ||
| 648702 | 2008-03-13 00:58:00 | A roof aerial would be better than rabbit ears. If you actually want to see something on the screen. |
