Ownership verified by DX Don't buy if you live in Brazil
Posted by Famscrow on 8/1/2009
Involvement: Novice (still getting used to it) - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstar
Usefulness: star
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: It sounds like a great unit, great quality of finishing and good price.
The CD contains a great program for these types of digital receiver.

Cons: Unfortunately, a lack of observation, not search the internet on DVB-T which is a European system for digital TV. Brazil adopted the Japanese system of transmission (ISDB-TB), so it does not work.
("O padrão de televisão digital adotado no Brasil é o ISDB-TB, uma adaptação do ISDB-T (Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting Terrestrial), padrão japonês acrescida de tecnologias desenvolvidas nas pesquisas das universidades brasileiras. O padrão japonês foi escolhido, conforme dito anteriormente, por atender melhor as necessidades de energia nos receptores, mobilidade e portabilidade sem custo para o consumidor, diferente do padrão europeu, onde esta operação é tarifada pelas empresas telefônicas. A principal diferença constatada inicialmente após a decisão de se adotar o padrão japonês para ser utilizado na televisão digital brasileira, em junho de 2006, foi a substituição do formato de compressão MPEG-2 para o MPEG-4.")

Other Thoughts: The DEALEXTREME has analog TV receiver, I recommend to buy this receiver. For example: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.17298

Bottomline: Buy in Dealextreme! It's cheap and guaranteed!

Ownership verified by DX Good item, just software is a pain!

Pros: It is fully portable, so I can watch freeview on my pc or on the move with my laptop, anywhere around the world which I may try out whenever I go on holiday/travelling.

Cons: The dongle seems to ok, could do with a cap for the end of it where the usb connection is though. The software that comes with the bundle is quite demanding of CPU and I also think RAM. I have a dual core, which is 2.2GHz each core and everytime I have run blaze, it will no doubt use at least 100% of one of the two cores. I have tried a few other programs, but none seemed to work well enough for me, the only one I found that worked half decently was AltDVB. I have not yet tried using VLC for DVB, so will have to give that a try and see how things go.

Other Thoughts: Would be better if a different software was bundled with the dongle or a few different programs, so then the user can choose which one worked best for them.

Bottomline: I recommend this, only if you feel that you would use it enough, as so far I have used it about four times and havent used it since. Also that you can find a decent program that runs it well enough for your computer/laptop setup.

Ownership verified by DX Exelent MPEG-4 DVB-t receiver
Posted by GregorS on 3/29/2009
Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: - very good value regarding the price
- it works excellent in Slovenia, where we have H.264/MPEG 4 DVB-T digital transmittion standard
- it even works inside the house with included antenna (TV transmitor is not in light of sight and around 20 kilometers away)

Cons: Supplied software (BlazeDTV 2.5) does not decode video, only audio. Maybe MPEG4 codec has to be applied separatelly. I even tried BlazeDTV 3.5 (downloaded from internet), but this version didn't even detect the receiver. So finally I used VLC with aditional MPEG4 codec (CoreAVC) - and reception of both audio and video works excellent. Also ProgDVB works fine.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: As I said, regarding the price, I would recommend this tuner as good buy.

Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: * La calidad de imagen es bueno
* El material parece resistente
* El programa que trae no es ta mal, aunque a veces consume muchos recursos

Cons: Supongo que sera cosa de la ubicacion, pero con la antena que viene, no consigo sintonizar mas de 12 canales, cuando si lo conectas a la antena general de la casa recibe mas de 30 canales!!!

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: Barato y funcional :)
Al cambio a euros sale por poco mas de 15€ y la verdad, el producto esta bien.
Quizas con una antena mas pontente o mas grande se podria sintonizar sin poblemas, al menos en mi casa
