Freeview dongle recommendations?

[Husky]

Cheers, Mallee - my local Aldi didn't have one on display. I looked in a couple of independent computer shops on my high street, and they had generic dongles with no branding, which caused me some concern about after-sales support. Eventually I bought a Hauppauge HVR-900H TV stick from Comet. After some faffing about with installing the software that necessitated downloading a more recent version from their website, it seems to be working ok. It's certainly more pricey than the Aldi one you mentioned, and those I saw in my local shops, but I'm hoping that a known brand may be more reliable.

Be careful which device you buy as some of the accompanying software is iffy. The dongle I bought from ebay didn't even seem to have a manufacturer's name and the software didn't support recording DAB radio broadcasts, though you could record television. I upgraded to Blaze DTV to find it will only record digital radio at 128k.



There's a little programme which allows you to directly download the Beebs iplayer stream without the DRM crap. Check the forums at radioarchive for details.
