My computer crashed a couple of times initially while setting up. I also had a problem with picture being a bit unstable. ticking the deinterlace box cured it. The picture quality is very good in high definition, and better than old tv stick it replaces on normal freeview. It's a sensitive tuner too.
Distan TV - you set up a small piece of,client software on pc and watch tv via your network, streams normal freeview to my atom 1.6ghz Asus netbook no problem using WiFi.
Distan TV mobile - this allows you to view TV in a webpage or on ipad and ipod, Didn't work with IE9, page didn't format correctly. Using with google chrome it works well. access to TV guide, able to schedule recordings remotely, you also have access to any TV center recordings on host computer. It says it needs to be activated after 14 day trial, I clicked activate and was given a key at no cost.
Recording - very good, the epg guide is a bit naff, but usable. Recordings are .ts files. only problem I had was my divx player was default player for .ts files and it couldn't play them. I changed default for .ts to tv centre and all was well.
It's handy being able to convert files to the required format from the TV Center software, and its very easy to do. All my recordings so far have been perfect.
I'm very happy with this product, being able to watch TV on my netbook is a big plus for me. The Picture quality is very good. I've upgraded it to five stars, The fact I got distan tv mobile at no extra cost merited another star.
distan tv mobile is very good and included, despite saying it's a trial. Just a few niggles with tv Center software.
P.S My Sister gave me an old Ipod touch series 2 I think, It works well with distan TV. I can view live TV, play recordings, and set recordings from schedule. My Grandson watched a recording of power rangers I had recorded, over the Internet. He thinks I'm a Genius, LOL
One more thing I read people were having problems installing the hardware, So I installed drivers before plugging in usb tuner. I remember years ago people having similar problems installing twain drivers for scanners, The answer was install the software and wait until it asks for hardware to be plugged in. If you plugged hardware in first, Windows misidentified the hardware. May be a similar problem.
Note: I'm using an external TV aerial to get a good signal; Even the user's guide admits the supplied internal TV aerial is useless.
The supplied TV application looks modern, and generally speaking works fine, but it has crashed on me a few times, so there's definitely room for improvement. The EPG is probably the most disappointing part though, as it often seems to be lacking the "what's on" information for numerous channels. It would have been nice if all of the freely available features were activated by default too, as it currently gives the impression that you'd have to pay extra for them, when that's actually only true for one feature; For an extra €5, you can "enable transcoding of TV recordings in space-saving DivX format from the TVCenter Gallery".
Note: It takes a long time to scan for TV channels during the initial setup, but you rarely need to do that, so it doesn't really matter.
I'm currently using Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit), which includes Windows Media Center, so I tried it in there too, which seemed to work fine. The only issue that I encountered was that the scanning for TV channels found the same TV channels multiple times, as I live in an area where there are multiple transmitters - Some with better signals than others. Having said that, I did notice that there seems to be different USB TV Tuner drivers available (from the manufacturer) for use with Windows Media Center, so they might help to resolve that issue; I never installed those USB TV Tuner drivers though, as I wanted to try the supplied TV application.
Note: The supplied remote control only works with the supplied TV application; i.e. not with Windows Media Center.

Testé avec TVHeadend sous Debian (linux) avec une antenne de toit rateau.
Très bonne qualité.
Bis auf das Koax-Kabel zum Anschluss der Dose an den Stick ist alles dabei and Hardware, was man benötigt.
Auf dem NAS nutze ich das gratis TV-Server Paket von TVHeadend. Nach ein wenig Fummelei bzgl. der Anmeldung am TV-Server funktioniert alles wie von allein --> Der Stick wurde erkannt, DVB-C als Receiver ausgewählt, glücklicherweise waren Einstellungen (Muxe) für meinen Provider bereits vorhanden und der Sender-Scan (sowohl HD als auch SD und Radio) ging auch schnell von statten.
Das Bild ist sehr gut, es gibt also keinen Qualitätsverlust, die Sender schalten schnell, EPG funktioniert, Aufnahme funktioniert und auch das Streaming auf meine mobilen Endgeräte (sowohl Android als auch iPhone) mit einem TVHeadend-Client funktioniert einwandfrei. Aufgrund einer guten Internetanbindung (500/50) und unlimited LTE kann ich auch mobil und unterwegs auf den TV-Server zugreifen.
Auf fixen Endgeräten benutze ich Kodi, auch das funktionierte sofort. In der DS Videostation wird der Stick auch erkannt und findet auch Sender, ich benutze allerdings lieber Kodi wie erwähnt und kann daher nicht viele Informationen diesbezüglich teilen.
Was nicht funktioniert (wird auch nicht beworben, aber falls jemand die Erwartung hat): Verschlüsselte Sender können nicht so einfach entschlüsselt werden, da es keine Möglichkeit gibt, eine Smartcard oder ähnliches anzuschliessen. Ich habe in der TV-Server App Funktionien für Zertifikate gesehen, evtl funktioniert so etwas damit - ich habe allerdings keine Erfahrung damit und auch kein Interesse daran.
Alles in allem ein guter und empfehlenswerter Stick. In meinem Fall eher eine Spielerei, da ich sowieso nicht mehr als 50h im Jahr TV schaue, aber für den einen oder anderen sicherlich sinnvoll.
He de decir que estoy contentísimo con su compra. Viendo la foto, pensaba que el conector era de plástico (porque lo veía negro) pero no, es un enganche de metal convencional, por lo que me alegré aún más.
Es un aparato pequeño. Muy pequeño. Del tamaño de un pulgar. Me sorprende como la tecnología es cada vez más pequeña (tenía una antigua sintonizadora hace diez años y era un chip enorme). El paquete incluye el aparato USB, una antena portátil, un mando a distancia, cd y un adaptador para antena convencional. Este adaptador se coloca al aparato en el caso de que lo conectes a la antena de casa. Pensaba que ya estaba integrado en el mismo dispositivo (viendo las fotos por internet) pero se conoce que este modelo, para hacerlo más pequeño, han decidido extraer el enganche de la antena (ver fotos adjuntas). A mi esto no me convence mucho, por si algún día se pudiese romper o algo, prefería que estuviese todo bien integrado pero bueno, funciona muy bien de momento.
Aunque el envoltorio esté solo en inglés y alemán, hay un manual de instrucciones xpress dentro en castellano. Y dentro del CD hay pdfs con más instrucciones paso a paso.
El mando a distancia es un poquillo... básico. Hay otros modelos de PCTV más monos (alargados, blancos...). Este es un poco cutrecillo, pero bueno, hace su función. Aunque hay veces que no lo detecta...
El software con el que viene, TV Center, es muy fluido. Se ejecuta muy rápido y el cambio entre canales es igualmente rápido (más rápido que la tele de mi salón). También recibe los canales HD (dependiendo de tu proveedor) y se ven... ¡de cine! El programa puede grabar vídeos, programar, hacer capturas de fotos, el "timeshift" (poder retroceder o avanzar en el tiempo de la emisión -genial por si quieres apuntar algo que se te haya escapado-), guía de programación... Tiene una interfaz bonita y es agradable de usar. Puedes alternar con subtítulos, otras pistas de audio (idiomas), teletexto... Tiene otras opciones muy interesantes que aún no he usado, como "Distan TV", que sirve para ver la TV a través de tu red local (por ejemplo, si tienes el aparato conectado al ordenador y quieres ver la TV en tu móvil, tablet, en otro ordenador...), además de la posibilidad de activar sonido Dolby. La busqueda de canales estandar toma un tiempo en hacerlo (aunque puedes ajustar a qué velocidad quieres que haga la búsqueda).
El software no ordena los canales de manera automática (por ejemplo, por "bloques temáticos" como haría tu proveedor de tv). Desde el fabricante recomienda crear una lista de favoritos con tu orden o usar otro programa de TV, como "Hauppauge Wintv", "Mediaportal", "Nextpvr" o el mismo "Windows Media Center".
Otra cosa que no me queda muy clara es si se pueden mezclar canales de DVB-C con DVB-T. En el TVCenter no lo veo... creo que debería de resintonizarlo, pero bueno, sé que con el Hauppauge WinTV sí se puede.
Hay una nota en el manual de instrucciones (por si a alguien le interesa) que dice que no es recomendado usar el aparato en movimiento (por ejemplo, un portátil durante un viaje en coche), ya que las señales de TDT cambian y varian según el recorrido.
Por lo demás, es un sintonizador supercompleto y genial. Yo os lo recomiendo al 100% ;)

new DVB-T2 TDT standard in my country (Bogotá - Colombia - South America), but first you
must need to "UPDATE THE SOFTWARE" from the vendor site.
Now i can record all my favorites programs from my PC, then
convert them to an MKV format and put in my SAMSUNG SMART-TV by
using my portable USB storage device.
WARNING: Make sure to guarantee that you have DVB-T2 (signal coverage)
in your area before any try to buy, install and test this device on any PC.
For example in (Colombia - South America), please visit this official web site:
