22-Mar-2007 Doug: Can this product be used abroad to pick up T.V.programmes?

22-Mar-2007 Andy: Will this work with the acer aspire 5685? I thought this came with the notebook but it didn't

14-Aug-2007 t: do you need a tv licence to watch programmes on a laptop

Easycom: You do need a TV license to watch TV broadcasts however, a portable tuner like this falls under your home license so you only need the one license.

16-Aug-2007 Oliver: Hi, what is the main difference between this and the Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-T, which one is better. Also i have freeview through a sky dish (freesat) will it pick that up as my freeview through an aerial isn't that good. Sorry if your already working on this question but i wasn't sure the first one sent through ok. Thanks

Easycom: Both of the TV tuners take an aerial signal input which can come from any device. The TV HVR comes with a mobile aerial while the Nova-T does not.

Easycom: Should be as good as any normal TV.

Easycom: BBC and ITV are unlikely to be received in Germany using the WinTV. A better option would be to look at the SlingPlayer, which allows you to stream your UK-based TV (Sky, BBC, etc) over the Internet to wherever you may be in the world. Requires UK-based TV and hardware though.

10-Mar-2008 Gerry: will this plug in & play , with sony vaio fz31m

15-May-2008 Russie: Doesn this product not support Phono wires? If not can you direct me to a TV tuner on the site that does please?

Easycom: Unfortunately the only WinTV USB tuner we sell that features phono outputs is the analogue one (product code 566). This is because the PC itself decodes the digital signal, and does not output the audio signal back through the USB tuner. You could use the headphone output from your laptop with a headphone-to-phono (dual RCA) cable.

1-Jul-2008 DM: Will this operate with the VAIO AR61E laptop?

Easycom: Yes.

23-Aug-2008 Paul: Will this product run with vista on a machine with a processor speed of 1.73GHz?

22-Aug-2008 Rich B: Will this work on an imac?

Easycom: Imacs have usb ports so it should do, but check with the manufacturers to make sure the drivers are available.

16-Aug-2008 Glenn McC: Hey, would this require a TV license to run?

Easycom: If you already have one, no. If you don't then technically you should have one.

Easycom: Unfortunately Hauppauge do not release drivers for Linux.

Easycom: Try product code 1175, that should do the trick.

14-Sep-2008 Fox: Is subtitles available on this product?

Easycom: Yes they are.

14-Sep-2008 banana: Will the product work on a laptop (emachines laptop, running windows xp), circa 2004?
