hi there i have a wintv nova-t usb stick its 3/4 years old and i used it on my previous laptop but not much, it used to get all freeview channels with my roof top ariel have just installed it on my new laptop downloaded vista compatible drivers ect but can only get 15 channels mainly it seems BBC/ITV based, has something happened to the transmitted signals since i last used this device.The ariel is is still working with my set top box and tv.

many thanks mike

thanks for taking the time to reply i think it must be a signal problem,i have reloaded it on my old laptop, on that i got more channels but only 35 and some of them would not run.The wintv usb stick must need a better signal than the other freeview devices i have in the house.

well things have got worse since my previous post, it crashed my system fortunately i had used the samsung back up and was able to restore most things.one thing i have noticed is the win stick only goes up to channel 48 and most of the stations on my main freeview box are between 48 and 52.I think that i will look round for a new one not expecting too much from them, the laptop is for winter use in the dandy for my wife whilst ime fishing so we have DVD and games if i can get some TV its a bonus.

G7ACU  i think you may be right this morning our cheap freeview box decided it wanted a re-tune whilst watching it do this i checked what channels it found stations on,it found the 15 i can get on the laptop before ch 48 then the rest after this and it went up to 68 the wintv only goes up to 48 so i am looking for a new one i fancy the avermedia.
