Product Description
This AUGUST USB Freeview HDTV Receiver is a "magic wand" as it can turn your laptop or desktop computer to a high definition personal multimedia centre that allows you to watch over 40 free digital channels, listen to over 20 digital radio stations, record your favourite TV programmes on your hard drive or burn it onto a DVD.

It comes with a professional and user friendly software interface, mini antenna and remote control. All you need to do is to plug the device into a USB port of your computer, insert the CD and install the software by following the instructions. Your computer will start working immediately for you as a portable TV and recorder. You can watch TV programmes live or record onto your hard drive to watch later.

An indoor antenna is provided to watch Freeview in the areas where the signal is strong, an amplified antenna may improve reception and a rooftop aerial should be used in some regions. An aerial adaptor is also provided for you to connect this device to your roof top aerial.

Please note that there may be difficulty to receive freeview TV signal by the included portable antenna in some areas where the signal is not sufficiently strong. This is due to that the freeview service (www.freeview.co.uk) in the UK does not fully support portable TV antenna at present. The reception will be improving along with the progress of Digital Switchover Program(http://www.digitaluk.co.uk). A signal amplifier or booster may improve reception capability in regions where the signal is marginally strong. (please note that reception capability may also be affected by various factors such as proximity to freeview TV/digital radio transmitters, tall building structures, thick walls, ceilings and etc.). A rooftop TV aerial may be required to watch freeview channels in regions where the signal is insufficient for a portable antenna.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing device!   January 6, 2009
Absolutely floored by this little thing -- it is as light as a feather, yet delivers stunningly good sound and picture quality. I guess I must live in a strong signal area, as I got 22 channels with the indoor antenna not even properly set-up (lying on its side on the desk!). Plugging in to the rooftop antenna brought up 80+ channels. Great software loaded with features, flawless install on Windows 2000 -- all this for a piddling 20?! A+++++++


1 out of 5 stars Very poor signal   January 4, 2009
I got this product for my laptop with Win Vista, after software installation it tried to scan channels and it couldn't find any, I got an anttena with booster and it could only find one channel, I had tested the anttena with my TV (Freeview built-in) and it found about 10 channels. It isn't a good product in my opinion.


1 out of 5 stars Disappointing   November 28, 2008
The performance of this product is very much dependent on the signal strength in your area and the aerial used. Using the aerial supplied I couldn't find any stations.

I was hoping to use this product to record Digital radio and this proved problematic.



5 out of 5 stars August USB laptop freeview receiver   November 28, 2008
An excellent piece of audio/visual equipment. basically, iy allows you to receive freeview broadcasts on your computer - which is terrific if the rest of the family want to watch the main TV. Nice and compact too. Works very well, depending on where you site the aerial.


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic, love it!   November 18, 2008
This is a magic device and I loved it immediately. I can now watch and record my favourite TV shows in perfect quality on my new laptop. The set up was easy and straightforward. I could not get any channels using the small antenna provided, which is not a surprise for me as the Freeview switchover in our region will be 2012. Fixing to an ordinary roof aerial it easily picked up 68 Freeview TV and radio channels, amazing! The remote is very handy. The device can also be scheduled to record TV programs at a particular time in case you are not in. Overall, I am very pleased and look forward to spending a lot of time with it.
