The Sticks
Hi I stumbled accross this earlier in Tescos and thought it looked like a nifty bit of kit so I suitably purchased it....however now I am having problems!
The area I live in can receive freeview but not quite all the channels according to the websites I've checked online. The stick shows an orange light which I'm presuming shows that it is powered up but reviews I have read online suggest it should be green? I'm simply not getting any signal and therefore when I scan for channels I obviously can't pick any up! This is with both the tiny aerial supplied and the house arial.
Does anybody have any suggestions? I'm not sure whether the stick is faulty, whether its something to do with my laptop or maybe we just can't receive freeview here.

Thanks
 
Plug it into your roof antenna, the small portable ones don't work too well if you're slightly out of a super duper strong signal area.

EDIT

Just noticed you said it's the same when plugging into house antenna.

Have you checked the cable you're using isn't rubbish?
 
£50 on impulse from Tescos but you can get it for under £30 online! However.....I still cant get it to work!
