TV for my Laptop???
 

Hello ha,

Anyone got any experience with getting Tv on the Laptop? I know i need a usb thing or card device but no idea where to start etc. I would like freeview etc too.

Let the opinions commence :)

Cheers guys

http://www.nebula-media.com/ is a good place to start, you pay roughly 70quid for the digitv box and then your sorted, any software updates are free and it comes freeview ready.

the biggest part in my opinion is getting a good quality aerial for a signal :)

I've not used any other devices for TV personally, but i've had this for about 3 years and been solid from start til now, so i can certainly recommend it.

ive got a v-gear mobiDTV pro usb dongle that you plug a tv aerial into,gets all the freeview channels and been very good on xp,not sure on other os

This very glitchy on my netbook, I understand its good on 3g phones, but may be better on faster laptops ?

Another question?? is there any way of avoiding the BBC tv license charge by using internet tv?

so who's bought what and why since the 1st post?

can't wait till 2011 though

Nebula Media Solutions Ltd.
from early 2011, this range will be extended with the inclusion of multiple-tuner USB and PCIe (PCI express) models, and tuners capable of Freeview-HD (DVB-t2 high definition) reception.

No, pay up

+1 for www.tvcatchup.com as the freeview in my room is stuck on BBC 2 :)

free tv
 

er in spain most tend to use fiveon.com to get free english tv.to get bbc&itv via sky u need a min 1.9metre dish!! most people av a 2.4metre dish

Its working OK for me, I know thats of little help but looks like you are not on your own.

Loads of USB dongle options available so you're spoilt for choice but the critical thing - as has been said already - is getting a good aerial feed to the dongle in the first place. If you are near an aerial point just plug into that but if you are out and about you will really struggle with those stupid little aerials you get with the dongle, they're really not worth unpacking unless you are trying to use them right next to the transmitting tower!
