Hi Ive decided to get a USB TV stick for my laptop...

I know these things arnt supposed to be great BUT would still like to purchase a good one without breaking the bank.

Ive seen theres a buch for about 30 - 40 and then theres more over 60.

Im not sure exactly what the difference is....

im looking at the following:

If tehre are any others id be happy to know of!

Anyway - i read the MSI one is good for the price, does anyone have any advice on buying usb TV tuner sticks?
 
We got a £35 TV stick & it's not all that good.

The only places that we could get a couple of channels using the portable antenna was in the middle of big towns.

They are fairly good when plugged into main house aerial though, but that defeats the object of it being for a laptop.

You should check the coverage on your area before buying anything expensive.

Most of them (even the expensive models) are pretty terrible at picking up digital channels from an internal ariel to be fair...
