Any decent deal for dvb-t usb stick outside ebay? I don't really want to wait until it arrives from Hongkong.

Ugh, this device into a laptop - laptop into telly, seems like alot of undue hassle for somethign that should be free to my telly anyway.

I was thinking the same thing, and even so I ordered one out of curiosity. Eventually realised I could get the channels by retuning my TV, perfect reception even with my 10 year old wabbits ears:D RTE NEWS NOW lol:p

Is there a receiver box I could pickup on the cheap that would just plug into my cable in my house to view all the Irish freeview channels or has it not launched yet? Not up to date on these things

If you have the right tuner in the telly it is free. This thing is good because it's cheap, it also allows you to record and timeshuft, plus you don't have to connect laptop to tv just watch tv on laptop. For a tv a dedicated box would be better option

Ok stupid question and i probably call it something else but what does timeshift do again?

Pauses live tv, so you can make a cup of tea and not miss anything.

Same here also. I mail them yesterday and they replied last night saying it was shipped on 4th via "natural" post so could take a while. I'll give them another few days.

Hopefully mine will be here today so also, ordered on the 2nd or 3rd, and already have 5 paypal disputes open (my account was hacked last night ) so don't want to be opening any more if I can help it.

Just opened one today against them.

tigershould

received from eunion4u today

set it up, its working after instaling drivers etc.

reception is a little poor - i had to hold the aerial in position or reception would be lost.

happy enough though for 7€

Just got it this morning and trying it now on a W7U machine so will report back how it goes, analogue reception is cack here so not expecting much.

As I suspected not a whimper from it but that is due to RTE not bothering their arse with our area

Okay, might try order one of these again now (hopefully get my money back for the other one).

I ordered mine from ellieshang on the 10th Nov and recieved it this morning. I think this is days after others so they probably posted them in a big bunch.
Hopefully you will get it in the next day or two.

I bought one from the link below (posted earlier in the thread) and it works fine apart from the remote control, although I think that could be a software issue as it is sending a signal.

Paid 4.70eur with following discount codes.

Aw really! God that sucks i bought an other item off him the same day like too :( Its sickening considering spur hill is right outside my window and i should be able to get perfect reception:(

Hopefully i'll get it yet, have been advised to escalate my paypal dispute tomorrow though!

I bought mine from ellieshang on the 10th November, and haven't recieved either yet.

Another unhappy ellieshang customer, still waiting (ordered Nov 4th).
Is there a support group for victims of the Hong Kong Postal Service?

Sounds good... Staring straight out my window at it now right next to CIT so this should be a gold mine for signal strength but i've a feeling i'll have to wait until i buy from another source:(

Did the people that ordered from ellieshang get a dispatched email?
I got an email saying it was dispatched on 11/11.
Hoping to get this soon.

I'm in Lucan so would I be right in saying I be using the three rock signal strength ? Anyone else out this way using one?

Never buyin from this seller again
