Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great price, great device
First of all, the supplied antenna was no use at all, but no surprises there. I got no channels using that, when I used the adapter and plugged it into my main antenna however, I got 70 services. The picture quality wasn't quite a match for my TV, but it wasn't a million miles away.

Secondly, the supplied software isn't particuarly inspiring. It gets the job done but in a rough around the edges kind of way. If your a Vista user I strongly recommend using Windows Media Centre instead; you can't use the supplied remote but the picture quality and EPG are far superior.

Overall, a great bit of kit for the price, highly recommended.

When I plugged this into my household aerial however the results were much better. Device found 66 channels, all the major TV stations and with excellent ... Read More:


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing kit
This is an amazing device and I really love it. It is very impressive that such a tiny device can turn a laptop to a digital TV and recorder. Very easy to set up, simply install the driver and Blaze player, then scan for channels, it is a shame I can not get any channels use the small antenna provided where I live, although I am prepared for it after reading other people's review, but no problem to get channels with my roof top aerial. The remote is very handy and gives me more freedom to control the programs.

The only annoy thing is that the Blaze player keeps asking me to register when I have already done it. Contacted the August technical team and have been told I need to run the Blaze as administrator because I am using Vista and ... Read More:
