Digital Tv Stick for Laptop and Home Computers

I have decided to write this guide after having some totally stupid suggestions from a seller as to how to get a "USB TV STICK" working.

Some of the things to beware of are -

The amount of these that have come from abroad with no brand name at all, the makers are too embarassed to put their name on it.
Ask the seller the following questions - In a good digital reception area will I be able to receive a picture indoors with the supplied area ? On a good "BRAND" make you will, With a poor quality or Brandless make, toss a coin up the air and I bet you still lose.
Can I use it on a "USB EXTENSION", - with a good "BRAND"make yes of course you can it would be silly not to expect it. On a poor quality or Brandless, well hay lets toss a coin again we might strike lucky.
Does it come with a manual - Now yes you would thinkso wouldnt you. You should be getting good at tossing that coin now.
There is liitle point Judging sellers by feedback as a lot of buyers leave feedback as soon as they received the goods and before they have tested them, also a lot of buyers do not bother because they will receive a negative in return for no reason.

The following is extracts from an email sent to me by a seller after I had purchasedone these poor branded items unknowingly.

Hi, Here are a list of some problems and solutions, I hope this helps:If you are unable to pick up a signal with the supplied aerial it may be because the signal is too weak for it. Please connect an external aerial to the adapter (supplied) and then try to scan for channels again.
Please note: I had to go right back to the point where the aerial had not been through Sky or VCR or DVD. If they were in the loop then I still got no signal but once I removed them it worked fine.
Some people have found that it MIGHT works best if youopen upthe blaze video software (i.e. double click the blaze video icon on your desktop) before you insert the USB stick
The blue LED on the stick should light up when the USB stick has tuned into a channel with agood signal. It is not a power ON/OFF light. Please ensure that all the connectors are firmly attached, in particular, the connector that attaches to the DVB-T Stick should click into place.
Please connect the DVB-T stick directly into the USB port of your PC or Laptop, using a USB extension or USB Hub can interfere with the signal.
If you have installed the software correctly and have attached an external aerial and still cannot pick up channels then it may be that you have a faulty item. The most likely cause has been a faulty mini-wire (external aerial lead). To confirm this is the problem, please push the connector that goes into the USB stick firmly (and hold) while it is scanning. If you get channels this way then this is the culprit. I have these in stock and can send you a new one to try.
