Hi,



I am considering getting an eyeTV box to be able to watch and record Digital Terrestrial Tv and am thinking about getting the new eyeTV for DTT or a 410 model.



A friend of mine brought his round and tried it out. He seemed to think that you can't plug the eyeTV_DTT model directly into an outside aerial and the antenna that comes with it is pretty useless, so am I restricted to the 410 model.



From what I can see there is no information on the Apple or Terratec's site about plugging a domestic aerial in. I am guessing that my STB has a converter from analogue to digital in where are eyeTV is straight digital? Through a STB I get really good reception so dont think it cn be that



Has anyone used this successfully or have any opinions.



Regards

Tom

    They do plug into normal (roof) aerials as well as the little (rubbish) one that it comes with. Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the reply Chopper I have tried it in a number of aerials but they dont work so I am assuming that the signals not good enough.. oh well it was worth a try

    Works fine with normal aerials as long as your in a strong signal area. If your in a weak area you need a wide gain aerial.
