I do not have a TV to test it, but I can assume that it was working. I plugged the dvb-t usb stick, launched Kaffeine, did a full AUTO scan, and got nothing again. I have attached a sample of the outputs. I can help debug the thing, and when the container arrives with the rest of my computer stuff, and when I have Internet, I can even give some account and remote access. But in the mean time, I might as well buy something that works right out of the box. The current tuner I have was a gift, a new one is not that expensive. So, what brand/model is known to work without fuss for DVB-T, and is widely available in the UK (Aberdeen, Scotland in particular? Thanks for any help, Nico
