In 2008 I bought an elgato eyetv for DTT USB Stick for my Mac computer. I hoped it might work with transmissions from Crystal Palace but found the signals were too weak.
Having only one LNB on my dish, with two tuners ( A set to USALS, B set to loop-through ) I can record one channel and watch anything else on the same satellite as long as it has the same frequency band and polarization. With the abundance of regional variations on Freesat I can usually watch what I want whilst recording something different. For the odd occassion when I can't I thought I'd try the tuner stick and to my suprise it worked.
I'm using Vu's official V7.0 image and under Tuner C, set to Europe, the stick shows up as Nova-T Stick (DVB-T). My aerial, 8 element, ( and cable ) are at least 20 years old. The Duo does not report an SNR but shows AGC as 39% ( My Mac shows Signal Quality 20%, Signal Strength 36% ). Duo tuned into C61 794 MHz - our old ITV analogue slot. I realise that this will change again this Wednesday 18th April 2012 when the remaining analogue channels get switched off. The DTT picture suffers from occassional break-up but its not worth upgrading the UHF aerial/cable.
