Freeview and DVB-T Technology
I recently purchased a Freeview USB stick for my PC, and I must say, how impressed I was with the actual unit. for those of you that may have had a Tv card a couple of years ago, please do not make the mistake that the reception available on today's boxes is any way similar.
The price of the units is actually very good. Think about it. Most people nowadays have a portable TV in there bedroom, however a much cheaper alternative would be to buy a DVB-T USB stick and use that instead. In the UK, you can easily pick one up for around ?30.
Regarding the actual coverge, you should visit the freeview website. There is also an option to type in your post code to verify if you can receive the signal in your area. As more and more channels are added to the DVB-T network, can only mean good news for buyers.
A quick search of the Internet will actually reveal some free viewing software, but I would recommed checking out the paid software, as they allow you to do some pretty clever stuff, like pause and rewind liveTV, and some even allow you to save the TV as your background.
