Hi everyone,

I was looking around for a USB TV Tuner and I came across this. I was wondering if anyone here had this tuner? how well it works? and I already know that it'll be using my satellite dish (80cm) to give it reception.

The DTT in the title means Digital Terrestrial Television
It wont work with Satellite Freeview in NZ

Oh, and as wellygary said, this is NOT a satellite receiver, it is terrestrial (DVB-T).

You are after a DVB-S device.

Thanks for the fast reply everyone! Anyone know of a good/user friendly DVB-S Tuner for under $150 NZD?

 
 
 

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Free setup code: R587125ERQ6VE. Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

Does the device have to work on Mac, or are you using a Windows PC?

Only the last one is in stock, and I have no idea of the quality or reliability of it.

If it can be PCI or PCIe, you have more options.

PCI is fine, but I only have 1 PCIe slot and that's currently taken by my wireless card. so no PCIe
