    where can I try apart from PCWorld, Currys, Maplins etc?

    I want to get a tv stick for my PC and the range seems a bit limited (also compatability issues make it harder)

    Ask in Terrestrial or Bargain Alerts, the good deals are generally for no name Mpeg4 or Mpeg4 T2 devices tested by users in there. If you get the wrong one it will not work save as sound only.

    see http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=56

    This one works http://www.dabs.ie/products/pctv-systems-nanostick-t2-290e-dvb-t2-77KG.html?q=pctv anywhere in the EU that I can think of that has Digital

    There arent a huge amount of companies that do TV Tuners, have you decided on a model or are you just gonna buy one off the shelf? I bought my last two Hauppauge TV Tuners in PC world (Newhall, Naas).. they always seem to have a few..

    oh and I have had bouught USB TV Stick TV Tuner and PCI-E TV Tuners and the PCI is much better... I would only get the USB if you were gonna use it on a laptop... They tend to hang uncomfortably out the back of the PC with the heavy coax cable plugged in to it, and that's what eventually damaged mine.. I even tried using a usb extension cable but it seemed to affect the reception..

    This is why I then bought a PCI version - hauppague hvr110..
