it all sounded so wonderful until you said you had it conected to a roof areil whats the point of paying 80 pound when you can just conect your laptop to your tv with a vga cable

@11robert11 By connecting your laptop to your TV does not mean you can receive TV programmes.

Brilliant review, thanks for this dave!

@WiiSpeakApple Thanks for watching one of my older videos. :)

I have just bought this device. I have tuned and retuned using the small ariel, and then the larger ariel provided with the device.

I am in an area that has excellent reception. I cannot get a single channel, with either ariel option. I suspect with a rooftop ariel it will probably work, but it makes the concept of having a portable TV with my Mac redundant, as I wanted this option when travelling about.

I will let you know if Elgato get it working.

Cheers.

@bigapb1 Strange. Keep me posted.

@bigapb1

It goes from bad to worse.

Elgato - no reply as yet.

There is a software upgrade to overcome the No signal problem, installed this, tried again, twice, nothing.

I changed windows, as it suggested, from a metal frame, to the sucker thing supplied. The sucker doesn't stay on the glass for more than about two minutes. The ariel is too heavy for it.

This product is a heap of tush!
