August DVB 202 USB Freeview TV Tuner
Got this little tuner. Must admit, wasn't really sure it would work. Delivered super fast next day by Amazon, though I had chosen Super Saver free delivery.. They had even sent me an e-mail telling me it was coming... The supplied software and drivers come on a mini cd that fits in the centre of your standard CD tray. The supplied booklet, contains instructions specific to you operating system, so read this before installing the software. Installed without a hitch and once I had waved the little supplied aerial around a bit to get the best signal I could find. It picked up 93 stations. And as long as the signal is strong, it displayed them without hitch. I then tried out the TV record function. On my machine, it placed the recordings in the my video folder and when I tested the screen shot (capture frame) button it put the image in the My Pictures folder. You can alter where it stores pictures and videos, on the home page screen under Setup/General. I then moved one of the recordings to a USB stick and played it back on my HD TV. It was surprisingly good quality. I'm impressed. A very simple to use interface with basic functions and nothing too technical to cause confusion. An electronic program guide (EPG) with a brief program description and channel list, provide a way to scroll through the channels and when you are viewing in full screen, hovering the mouse pointer over the bottom of the screen pops up a floating tool bar with the most required functions on it. Pressing escape takes you out of full screen and back to the TV page. Here you can set up your scheduled recordings and rescan your TV channels if you need to. You can also save channels in a favourites list. No idea how long it will last, but considering the price,it was worth a punt, for a handy little device, that so far has worked very well..

Great Hardware, Rubbish Software
This is a well made and functional piece of hardware (you need a good aerial signal of course). Arcosft provide the Total Media software, it has a well known easily corruptible TMMonitor.exe application that helps open it. Once it fails you either have to delete Windows operating system files planted by Arcsoft or reinstall Windows, Arcsoft have known all about this for some time. Reinstalling the software, System Restore and registry cleaners will not fix this problem, although searching for "TMMonitor fault" will provide several Registry Cleaners claiming to be able to fix the fault if you pay them more than the dongle cost in the first place. The dongle works well with Blaze Video software, but you will need to buy another dongle to get the software.

August DVB-T202 USB Freeview Receiver
Nicely made and pretty good performance from such a small package. Arrived within 24 hrs of ordering. Very easy to install and set up. Installed it on 2 machines - desktop (2.8 Ghz) and laptop (1.8 GHz), both running Win XP Home. Included software is well made and easy to use. Connected to roof top antenna and ran scanning routine.....72 channels found including radio (Bournemouth area - Isle of Wight transmitter). Picture quality is good but I thought it could be a bit brighter - maybe just my monitor. Timeshift feature works very well - much better than the Hauppage WinTV Nova-S-Plus PCI Freesat receiver I have. The supplied indoor aerial didn't pick up anything, until I added a reflector to it (a baking tray works pretty well!). As mentioned I'm in Bournemouth and have the indoor aerial directed towards the Rowridge transmitter on Isle of Wight, about 22 miles away. Have to play around with positioning but can get quite a few channels this way. So all-in-all I'm quite impressed with this little gadget. Would have given it 5 stars but for the slight lack of brightness, and also the remote control is a bit fiddle to use as it requires the receiver to be pointing straight at it to work. 4 stars.

Potentially a great little unit but flawed
The facilities on this TV tuner are exactly what I was looking for and great value for the price. Unfortunately, it does not work properly. To be fare I bought a second hand unit for half price and found many problems. Slow response to initiation of the Total media program and occasional freezing of the program and sometimes even the computer itself requiring shut down. The major problem as far I am concerned is that TV programs longer than one hour when recorded will very often only burn a fraction of their length to DVD. I have not been able to find any mention of this on other reviews. Daffodil kindly sent me another second hand unit to try but with the same results so I am farely certain that even new units will have the same problem. I have tried the unit using down loaded software from August and the supplied CDs . I have also used it on a fast Lenovo with Intel i3 processor and Windows 10 as well as my old Pacard Bell PC with pentium proc and Windows 7. If anyone has bought a new unit and used the DVD burner software for TV programs longer than an hour successfully , please let me know! Update. The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) has suddenly removed all information and just says " Getting EPG information. on my Windows 10 PC. I swaped the TV tuner but still no Info. I think it must be another software fault. Oh dear oh dear. Such a pity. I have to give it Two stars now.

Works great with very little setup. Using it with TVheadend via a Raspberry Pi 5 to record and stream to Kodi.

por el precio, para mí es un extra indispensable funciona correctamente, no he tenido otros tdt vía usb, por eso no puedo comparar En mi caso lo he conectado a la toma de televisión de la pared, para poder ver la tele en un portátil, y perfecto, muchas opciones, se ve genial y el menú es una pasada! Contras: El mando parece muy endeble, parece que vaya a romperse pronto, de momento sólo tengo un par de días el sintonizador, así que si acaso ya actualizaría mi opinión. Mi mujer actualizó los canales, pero no le guardó la configuración, así que supongo que el software no está muy pulido, pero vaya, por poco más de diez euros, me doy por satisfecho, puedo vivir con estos "peros".

Excellente clé TNT supporte très bien le MPEG 4 du nouvel encodage TNT depuis le 5 avril 2016. Je possédais une clé TNT USB acheté sur Amazon l'année dernière , c'est " l' AVER MEDIA TV Volar Green HD " elle fonctionnait très bien mais hélas depuis les nouvelle normes MPEG4 de la TNT le 05 avril 2016 , cette clé AVER fonctionnait très mal, beaucoup de chîne ne fonctionnait plus, j'ai essayé de trouver une mise à jour ou un vendeur impossible. Et sur mon ancienne clé AVER TV VOLAR GREEN HD il est mentionné MPEG2 et MPEG4, donc restez vigilants. Je me suis donc résolu a acheté celle ci, beaucoup moins chère. Mais quelle surprise, agréable je n'en revenais pas de la qualité, bien meilleure que l'ancienne AVER MEDIA et près de 3 fois moins chère. Sur connexion antenne TV râteau maison une qualité d'image incroyable et toutes les chaines en réception HD au top, aucune n'est instable L'antenne télescopique fournie avec son petit aimant fonctionne assez bien en intérieur mais en l'extérieur sur toit voiture c'est le top. Attention le mini CD fourni est impossible à lire avec le lecteur DVD.. Sur l'emballage papier du mini CD ils disent de ne pas le mettre dans lecteur et donne le lien pour télécharger Média Center que je n'avais pas avec numéro de licence et le drivers de la clé,et de la télécommande, la j'avoue ne pas avoir bien compris pourquoi mettre un mini CD s'il n'est pas utilisable. Voilà une excellent produit ou vous pourrez enregistrer vos films et programmes préférés. Ça enregistre en MPG en sortie, mais je n'ai pas regardé pour voir si je ne peut pas faire un enregistrement en sortie WMV moins lourd ou autres Mais possédant le logiciel " Wondershare Video Convecter" payant, je peux modifier mon format de sortie à ma guise en MP4, AVI, H263 etc etc Un petit détail pour votre première utilisation la recherche des chaines 41, vers Montpellier, est très longues près de 10 minutes mais après un sacré résultat de qualité image. Un excellent produit qui surtout accepte le nouvelle norme TNT modifiée ce 5 avril 2016. Un petit détail qui a son importance , vous pouvez voir le signal du canal ou la chaîne que vous regarder la force du signal de 1 à 5, c'est quasi du 5 partout, non rien à dire Espérons que cette clé tienne au minimum deux ans... Voilà si vous avez des questions n'hésitez pas, pour 18 euros et des poussières livraison gratuite c'est un excellent produit qui fait son taf. Facile d utilisation et un envoi en 48H propre. Respect à vous toutes et tous

Après une installation laborieuse, faute de bien comprendre l'anglais, je lance le logiciel pour la recherche de chaînes, et là, un message d'erreur me dit (en anglais, toujours), que le matériel n'est pas disponible ! J'avais pourtant fait un essai avec Windows Media Center qui, lui, détecte ce tuner sans problème. J'ai désactivé WMC au cas où ce serait lui qui entrerait en compétition, mais cela n'a rien changé au problème. J'ai installé, désinstallé, redémarré l'ordinateur, rien n'y fait. August ne reconnaît pas son propre matériel ! Comme je n'ai pas envie d'y passer des heures, je le renvoie donc et je vais retourner vers Avermedia.
