[QUOTE="steve.craig, post: 29086, member: 17255"] Okay well some people seem to be able to get this working with freecom and some unlucky ones cannot. In my case I can not even open up the tv viewer. I have spoken to freecom support and now they seem to be saying they will not be producing a BDA driver. Wonder if we can narrow down why this crashes on some machines and not others. I have: A relatively recent freecom dvb-t stick, not got it to hand so cant quote serial on manf date. I had previously installed freecom drivers and they worked fine. Then following the instructions in this forum I removed the driver and installed the BDA one. Some points that might effect this: I previously used this on linux with the open source driver (dont know if that changed the firmware etc, cant imagine it would). Its currently connected to a USB1 port, hopefully USB2 will arrive today. My tv aerial is not bad, but some channels break up on my set top box. I am looking at the BDA spec, and the linux open source driver to see if there is any chance of writing a driver for windows. But I have no real experience with driver writing under windows so I doubt I'll get anywhere. [/QUOTE]
