USB Freeview reccomendations

Hi Guys

I'm after a USB Freeview stick for use with my laptop when travelling.

There's loads available on ebay, but i'm a bit heistant of the quality!

Any reccomendations for a decent model? Do they actually pick a decent signal up? Do you need aerials to add on?

Thanks
Steve

Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T USB Stick - DVB-T Digital freeview TV tuner stick.

Thats the one I have, works fine, comes with a mini aerial but found it crap, I use a cheap indoor aerial and it picks up every freeview channel fine, but that is on my desktop pc.

I got one and it worked fine round my parents house who had their arial replaced recently, but was unable to pick nothing up with the small one that came with it, nor any other portable/indoor arials I tried.

a lot depends on how the signal is in your area.

Yes, the Nova T stick is a bargain and works with Media Center.
