Product Description
With the Freecom DVB-T USB Stick, you can watch and record Freeview digital TV and Radio on your computer without monthly subscription.
The Freecom DVB-T USB stick is characterized by amazing compact dimensions of only 28 x 15 x 86 mm and an ultra-light weight of 25 grams. This minute digital receiver is therefore perfect for mobile, cordless TV and radio reception. The only equipment required is a laptop or desktop with a USB 2.0 port. An IEC connector is also included to connect to a normal aerial to get better signal.
The Freecom DVB-T USB stick offers much more besides convincingly sharp picture quality; in combination with the hard disk, it becomes a digital video recorder. In this case the user has the choice between "live" recording and convenient programming by means of the timer function. This is where the EPG comes into its own, which lists the complete TV schedule of all broadcasters, and provides brief descriptions of the individual programmes.

Fantastic Freecom.......2008-01-18
I had read the very mixed reviews about this, ranging from brilliant to useless but decided to try it. The instructions are a bit minimal but the CD loaded perfectly, I saved the PDF instructions (but haven't needed them) and then waited for the stick to find channels. I expected a non-event but instead was amazed when it found 66 stations, including all the expected Freeview channels and masses of digital radio stations. You just need to save the stations, click on the small TV screen, go to full screen and hit the return key to enlarge. Great picture and brilliant reception from the little aerial provided. First class product and good value.
wrong software.......2008-01-06
I purchased one of these some months ago. What i found was that the supplied software/driver was very poor. I only live 5 miles from one of the most powerful transmitters in the country and still had poor signal displayed and using a roof top aerial. BUT.. i searched around the internet for updated drivers. Freecom have software gateway where they provide drivers to authorised engineers/agents. On there are the correct drivers for this unit plus Toal Media 3. I managed to download these and they work beautifully giving strong signal readings. Altough using rooftop aerial will now try the supplied aerial.
Also the remote doesn't work well because the small hole drilled in the body of the unit that lets the IR signal in from remote control is not lined up with the IR receiver on the circuit board. If you gently drill out the hole and make it bigger you will see the receiver and discover whoever designed the body did not get the hole in the right place!
Overall a bit of mean ness on Freecoms part and shoddy design otherwise spoils a good unit. One * before sofware upgrade,**** after.
not bad.......2007-11-29
it ok for £22 but a few negatives
1)the areil suuplied probably wouldn't pick up any channels if you lived on top of a transmitter so you need to buy an extension lead to connet to out door ariel
2)even a small movement of the usb can affect the picture
3)the remote is not very usefull from more then a metere away as you need to aim it on a precise point on the usb stick for it to work
4)i was especially diappointed that although you can record a program you cant record one channel while watching another channel
otherwise its ok you get 30 tv channels that you can record with a quality picture.
Great with DVBViewer.......2007-11-23
I have used one of these gadgets for must be getting on 2 years now - on the roof arial via a 6 way booster. Don't be naive - nothing Digi will work on a six inch bit of wire! Alongside it, on another pc I run a Nebula DigiTV usb card that cost 3 time the price about 4 yrs ago. Since they have been mucking around with the frequences and strengths of the Waltham transmitter digital side, the Nebula pixelises Ch4 and associated channels whilst the Freecom is rock solid. As it's easier to spend 22 quid on another Freecom rather than stick a bigger arial on the roof another one is on its way.
For info I use XP - not tried Vista - the supplied Arcsoft software is c**p, expecially if you want to record radio as i do a lot. I use DVBViewer (GE version, but both pro and GE as good as each other). After trying all sorts this is the best third party software around - all for a tenner or so!.
If you want to use any third party software like DVBViewer you need to download the BDA drivers from Freecom. (files 00008584.zip)Install the stick with the BDA drivers like any usb device, not the supplied Arcsoft software. If using DVBViewer, download and install the free DScaler mpeg2 video decoder, the AC3 filter mpeg audio decoder and try using the vmr7 video mixing renderer if you get wavy lines, all set up under options/directshow. There you go a few tips to ease the pain:-)

Listen up - it sounds great!.......2001-05-23
The Grundig G2000A is made of solid plastic that's lightweight and durable. At about 1.5 pounds, this little (but powerful) radio is easy to transport (A leather carrying case is included as are two excellent ear pieces.)
The Grundig G2000A is powered by three AA batteries that seem to last a long time. There are two digital clocks built in - set one to your home time and the second to your travel destination. A handy wake up alarm feature and a small (1.5 inch) speaker. The speaker is a testament to the fine German quality we have come to expect from Grundig.
I did have a difficult time picking up remote world channels, but I easily found several new stations to listen to. I had to remind myself that this was a portable radio and I couldn't expect the same power performance from this model as I do with my Grundig 960.
Overall this is a quality piece of craftsmanship and electronics. It is sturdy, dependable and easy to carry - it is worth the price charged.
Beautiful radio with average performance.......2001-05-23
In recent years, no other portable shortwave radio has rated quite as high on the "neato" scale as the Grundig G2000A. This Grundig's two best design features are its Porsche-designed cosmetics and its handy leather carrying "case." These things alone are cool enough to inspire almost any shortwave listener to want one and have fun using it.
The radio's performance isn't quite as great as its beauty, however. For its small size, it performs fine with an external antenna, but less well with the aerial. Its sensitivity is decent, and selectivity is passable. But don't expect a listening experience on par with rivals within its price class. Bottom line is, you're paying more for the looks than anything else. If performance is what you desire, keep looking.
I give it less than four stars for several reasons. First, it fails to cover the entire shortwave spectrum from 1600 khz to 30 mhz. That's a big drawback among today's digital radios. Second, the keypad is awkward to use, even though it looks fabulous. Third, the software provides a measly 10 memory positions for shortwave, which is okay if you only listen to the major broadcasters.
Nevertheless, the G2000A is an aesthetically nice radio that's fun to operate for casual listening. For a novice listener, I'd recommend something simpler. If you're a more serious, demanding listener, you probably already have something else. I enjoy using it because it reminds me of my dad's old Zenith Royal 500E, which has a great leather case. I like this Grundig, but I'm glad it isn't my only one.

A fantastic radio with only a few minor flaws.......2006-08-09
Pro: Small size is convenient for travel. Antenna can be pulled away from the case, so it extends at a vertical angle, and not at an awkward angle like the Eton E5. Only 2 AA cells are needed. Radio has single-side-band AND synchronous detection! Battery life approx. 12 hours. The case protects the unit reasonably well. The price makes this radio a bargain.
Con: The battery cover is slightly flimsy. Sensitivity is adequate but not excellent. Audio quality is adequate. Does not come with a power adapter. The radio has been discontinued by Sony.
Overall, I really like this radio. It would have been given 5 stars if it came with a power adapter and had a better battery life. If you're looking for a compact SW receiver with lots of features, then this is the radio for you.
