Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

Delivered super fast next day by Amazon, though I had chosen Super Saver free delivery.. They had even sent me an e-mail telling me it was coming... The supplied software and drivers come on a mini cd that fits in the centre of your standard CD tray. The supplied booklet, contains instructions specific to you operating system, so read this before installing the software.
Installed without a hitch and once I had waved the little supplied aerial around a bit to get the best signal I could find. It picked up 93 stations. And as long as the signal is strong, it displayed them without hitch.
I then tried out the TV record function.
On my machine, it placed the recordings in the my video folder and when I tested the screen shot (capture frame) button it put the image in the My Pictures folder. You can alter where it stores pictures and videos, on the home page screen under Setup/General.
I then moved one of the recordings to a USB stick and played it back on my HD TV. It was surprisingly good quality.
I'm impressed.
A very simple to use interface with basic functions and nothing too technical to cause confusion.
An electronic program guide (EPG) with a brief program description and channel list, provide a way to scroll through the channels and when you are viewing in full screen, hovering the mouse pointer over the bottom of the screen pops up a floating tool bar with the most required functions on it. Pressing escape takes you out of full screen and back to the TV page. Here you can set up your scheduled recordings and rescan your TV channels if you need to. You can also save channels in a favourites list.
No idea how long it will last, but considering the price,it was worth a punt, for a handy little device, that so far has worked very well..
August DVB-T202 USB Freeview Tuner Stick - External PC TV Card with Digital (DVB-T) Television Receiver and PVR Style Recorder - Wintv Dongle Supported by Windows 7 / Vista / XP for Desktop and Laptop Computer
Added these comments a few months later. The tuner keeps 'disappearing' from Windows. It becomes an 'unknown' device. Each time it happens I can take it out, let it cool and then Windows will recognize it correctly when it is refitted. This may be a one-off faulty device. I have another in a different system and I am monitoring it closely.
Added this comment a couple of weeks later. Both T210 tuner exhibit the same behaviour. They 'disappear from Windows. I have also noticed a number of 'Blue SCreen of Death' incidents since fitting this device. This never happened in the past.
This is nothing like as reliable a tuner as the PCTV DVB-T2. My advice is don't buy it.
Findings so far:
1. My previous (non-HD) stick worked fine with Win and Linux and was recognized instantly. Could be used in Linux without any configuration. This August DVB-T2 210 required installing from the 64 bit folder (normal setup does not work). The seller had links to the suitable software (drivers for win, Totalmedia 3). The totalmedia3 software works well.
2. This stick can switch much quicker between channels than my previous one. Picture quality is clear and sharp and recordings look well. I have hooked it up to our roof-mounted aerial and not even tried the small aerial it came with. Scanning for channels took a while, but it found all of them, no problem.
3. Under linux (Ubuntu 13.04) the syslog shows that the device is recognized and supported by the kernel. Currently Me-TV and VLC can not use the stick because the OS does not make /etc/dbv nor /dev/dvb/. That may need some time :-( It looks unlikely that HD willbe possible, but I may get it to work.
Overall: A bit disappointed that it does not "just work" in linux (cannot get it to work yet) and Windows. In Win 7 and Win 8 64 bit the stick works without problems after a setup that was a bit fiddly. When it works the reception is good and hassle free. The software works fine.
-------------------------------------
change dd July 2014. With regards to linux
Started kaffeine under kernel 3.14-1-amd64 and the card has started working. It is recognized as a DVB-T card so HD is not possible yet. It is recognized as a SONY CXD2820R. I have not compiled/patched anything just a standard Debian Install. Me-TV and Kaffeine do allow playing TV now.
It is evident to me that support is improving over time, which is great.

Funciona perfectamente y lo ha detectado a la primera.
Espero que dure.
L'installazione dei driver e del programma di gestione non presenta difficoltà, per i meno esperti viene allegata una guida molto dettagliata con tutti i passi da eseguire. Il codice di attivazione di Arcsoft è stampigliato sul relativo foglietto di istruzioni.
Il programma di gestione funziona senza alcun problema. Io uso Windows10 su un portatile di fascia bassa, ma non ho notato alcun rallentamento o difetto nella visione anche a pieno schermo.
Le registrazioni sono possibili sia "al volo", cliccando sul tastino rosso per avviarle, sia con la programmazione oraria. Quest'ultima è facile da impostare e precisa, e funziona anche dopo aver chiuso il programma.
L'acquisizione dei canali è piuttosto lunga, dato che in Italia questi sono piuttosto numerosi. Risulta utile ai fini pratici copiare i programmi interessanti nella lista dei "Preferiti" per non doversi districare tra centinaia di canali.
Naturalmente sono possibili più programmazioni di registrazione che avviene in formato mpeg.
Ma il programma "Total Media" non si limita solo a queste funzioni, si possono vedere immagini memorizzate nel computer ed elaborarle, stamparle e masterizzarle. Si possono vedere ed editare i filmati ed editarli e masterizzarli. Inoltre esiste la possibilità di gestire dispositivi portatili (come p.es. iPod, ecc).
Concludendo si tratta quindi di una ottima chiavetta, perfettamente compatibile con Windows10 e di un altrettanto ottimo programma di gestione.
Très facile d'utilisation. Image parfaite en HD et son impec.
L'antenne fournie est très moyenne (il faut être à coté d'un émetteur) il vaut mieux utiliser une antenne un peu
plus grande et surtout munie d'un ampli. Je suis à 30km de la frontière française et avec une antenne
sur le toit de la maison (+- 7m) avec ampli je capte 5 chaines TNT belges et 26 chaines TNT françaises.
