Hi all i'm just back from Ullswater where i experimented with the Aldi TV stick i mentioned in an earlier post, it picked up 37 tv and radio channels using a cheap aerial from Wilkinsons this will obviosly vary on the digital signal strength in any particular area but iwas more than happy with its performance indeed several neighbouring campers came in to watch the England match yesterday so thumbs up to the TV stick!

I had a TV usb stick and had very little success with it unless I attached it to the house aerial, took it away camping and got nothing.  I think it depends where you are and the reception quality.

I am very experienced with computers (my chosen profession) so if anyone needs help setting up these tv sticks just give me a shout. Also if you would like help with anything else to do with computers I'm your man :)
