I hope you find the following points useful:
1. Check online first to see if you have a strong signal in your area. Without it you're DOOMED.
2. Do as they say: scan for stations using a rooftop aerial if possible. At least you know the stations are "caught" even if you have trouble locating them later.
3. After reading the horror stories, I did not dare put the mini disc in the slot in my laptop so downloaded the software from the website. This was easy to do but then I couldn't find it... so I opened a dedicated folder for the 3 software items and downloaded them again.
4. My computer is quite old with not much space left on the hard disk. Make sure you have enough before you embark on the "journey".
5. Setting up the software is easy & the interface is user-friendly. (Thank you, I said).
6. The supplied aerial is useless unless you're very lucky. (Mine half-heartedly picked up 2 stations & I decided it wasn't worth expending more effort). I then researched aerials and bought a Philex 27769R from B & Q. The supplied cable is quite short so I also bought a 5m aerial extension.
7. The aerial worked immediately but, as expected, it took some fiddling to find the best position. Boy, did I need that aerial extension!
8. I now have an excellent picture & 77 stations to choose from. There is very slight freezing now & then, especially on full screen, but not enough to get bothered about. I haven't tried recording etc. yet. I am not a great telly watcher and wanted TV on the laptop mainly for the news. The remote control didn't work at first but the battery was the wrong way round so that was easily solved.
