Then plug the aerial into the stick and get EyeTV to tune in the channels. First, plug the stick into a USB 2.0 port there’s an optional extender you can use, too, if your port is recessed and the stick won’t fit into it.
EGATO EYETV SOFTWARE
In practice, the stick is actually pretty easy to use, thanks to the EyeTV software provided. Still, the enhanced signal strength means I can actually use the stick at home as a personal video recorder, rather than as a stop-gap measure. Since the software works with any Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) service, I imagine if you take this with you on your travels, you’ll experience similar vagaries in other countries. The signal got better (46%) once I switched aerial, meaning I could watch C4, etc (and ABC1), but UK TV History and Film4 are still a bit juddery. Except first, I needed a cable.įortunately, I had one stuck in the back of the TV: it turns out you don’t need to use it if you have a SCART socket.

So if you’re thinking of getting this for a laptop, say, bear in mind that you’re probably not going to be able to get all the channels wherever you use the stick. That gave me about 26% signal and meant I couldn’t watch any of the ITV channels or Channel 4. I started off with the mini-aerial that comes with the stick.

I promised I’d let you know how it was working it, so here we go.
