    Question TV Tunner - No Channels

    I bought a ATMT FreeStick Digital DVB-T Stick
    I have tried it on 3 different PCs with the same result. No channels in any application I try, be it Windows Media Centre, Presto! PVR and TV Jukebox(Suppied with the device)

    I have tried it on my Samsung NC10 with Windows XP SP3 and 2 desktops with Windows 7 RC and my other laptop also with Windows 7 RC.

    I have tried some driver recommended by drvierguide.com to no avail


    If anyone could help that would be great

    Have you tried using a normal fixed aerial that is known to get a Freeview signal?

    Yes, good test. The USB sticks are pretty much only able to get a signal & of course the channels involved when you're either right next to the transmitter or in an otherwise extremely good signal area, on top of a hill

    Ops, I forgot to mention I had tried it on the house antenna using 2 different points, both of which get excellent reception. Yet I still can't get anything on the USB stick.

    Yes the drivers installed just fine, the little blue light came on everytime.

    And there were no warnings or errors in the Hardware manager interface

    when you first plugged in the stick, did windows try to install drivers?

    Re: TV Tunner - No Channels

    As per-usual, yes (url parsons151185.googlepages.com/ATMTDigialReceiver.PNG)

    I have tried reinstalling it. And it still doesn't work.

    Been trying to find GraphEdit, should be on here seeing I have Windows SDK 7.0a installed

    Others have said MSI 580 drivers work, but the device seem to stay in 'cold mode' without the firmware loaded. Linux...downloaded some firmware it wanted ( and couldn't find) but it also failed to load. Can't find any firmware suitable for this ATMT piece of crap.

    Get what you pay for =( Guess it might as well go back to SCAN

    Sucks being as skint Games Developer Student. I'll have to do some more computer repair jobs to come up with the cash for a decent one, dual tuner this time. Any recommendations?
