what is a good usb tv to use on my msi laptop in windows 10.
any one use one ..thanks for any suggestions please.

 

[roger_37]

sorry no suggestion, but we're talking a USB TV receiver for PC, yes?

I had a hauppauge desktop expansion card back in theday and a USB thingy that was absolute trash, so i'll be interested to see if there's any decent options.

yes something for laptop while desktop down for psu repair...so a USB TV receiver i need thanks.

i have both aerial and dish to use on laptop but nothing to plug them into....thus the question...need usb tv dongle.

that's more information for someone to help with. freeview or freesat compatible.

there does seem to be an abundance of these things with good reviews on sites like amazon. obviously I can't recommend any from personal experience. I would think the technology is reasonably mature, though there could still be dodgy chinese copies which are prone to failure. if no advice is forthcoming i'd go for something sold by similar reliable retailers

just thinking are they used anymore?

Make sure it's got a DVB-T2 tuner if you want all the available channels - not just for HD channels. Some of the other SD channels are placed on T2 multiplexes as well.

is that analogue.? as well as digi?

 

[roger_37]

you'll do well to find an analogue tuner these days, let alone a combination analogue digital.

ok ty are they all dish or ariel?

 

[roger_37]

without looking, i'm going to take a punt and guess you'd be more likely to find freeview receivers than freesat. freeview (aerial) is ubiquitous, so it's surely a more flexible option.

I should correct myself about the difficulty of finding a combination analogue, digital receiver
HAUPPAUGE WinTV-HVR-935HD Hybrid TV Tuner for DVB-C/DVB-T2/DVB-T and Analogue TV - Black

has both analogue and digital for about £52 and DVB-T2 as Benski mentioned

what would you use analogue for anyway? video capture?

vid and music .....combined
