Setup easy. Does what is claimed - Freeview TV - on a pc/laptop (actually a Celeron M, Compaq). Did have to substitute the aerial with one that also boosts the signal, but that isn't an issue with the adapter, just that we live in a dip. So, the choice was - new tv for the daughter's bedroom or a tv adapter for her laptop (and separate indoor aerial).

Being new to this type of product i was sceptical at first, then thought let's give it a try, and i have to say i was pleasantly suprised. The dongle is small and works really well, slight drawback is the portable aerial, cannot receive any signal with this, although that could be down to my area.
Once plugged into my normal aerial though it is just as good as the standard digital set top box for my tv
Good product let down by supporting software  Sent: 08 November 2008
Having purchased this and a similar product recently (click on my "All reviews" to see the other product), they both work well under Vista (although you do need a different device driver which is available from the extremely helpful supplier - he is worth the 5* feedback).
However, the software package that comes with this device does not feel as good a quality as I would expect. The recording function is jumpy (note that on other device it was smooth and of good quality using the same laptop) and the colour often drops out.
I have not used the supplied aerial since, due to the area in which I live, I know that I would be wasting my time. However, connected to the roof aerial, I get all the channels that I would normally get on my main television.
So overall, a good piece of hardware that is let down by the feel of the software package - you may think that the 3* rating is a bit harsh, but I think it is OK and but not as stunning as some of the alternate products.
