    Well, I'm thinking of writing a review or something about the KWorld 100SS after I get one for xmas, as I've not seen any information about them (except what's on scan) at all. I've never done a review before, but I don't see why I shouldn't - this is the perfect opportunity .

    Yes, although we don't know for certain if our ariel will work with digital, so it might not even work at all. If it does though, I'll write something on it .

    I have seen bad reviews of Hauppage cheap cards. Poor software and design. I ended up getting an Avermedia and the software blows - an older dvb-t model, but still. I would stay away from both of those companies.

    I've just got the freecom dvb-t USB stick for Xmas -



    Seems to be fairly good - but might need a better aerial than the one supplied...

    I can't really tell you much about it atm as we seem to have a problem with the ariel socket in this room, so I'm getting only a few channels. The supplied ariel that comes with it gets absolutly no channels at all (looks like the one shown above). Right now, even on the strongest signal (radio 1 coldplay), it still seems to skip and stutter occasionally, but this has nothing to do with the card at all.

    It also comes with some sort of a bluetooth thing (I think). On the side of it, it has a picture of it slotting into what looks like a PDA. Could anyone shed any light on what this might be used for? Is it for remotly controlling the card somehow, or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
