![]() You can move the computer (with dongle attached) around a bit in the hope of finding a slightly better signal, but even with a separate rod antenna on a bit of wire you're still pretty restricted to the area where it's convenient to position your computer. We had heard from reviews that a frequent problem with many of these TV dongles is that they can struggle in areas that have a less than strong TV signal. The dongle usually comes with software to install on your computer that communicates with the dongle and displays the TV programmes on screen. Some of the more recent models also work on iPads, iPhones and Android phones and tablets. Depending on the model, the external antenna might be a rotatable telescopic type that is permanently fixed to it or it may have a socket that can be connected to a rod antenna on the end of a length of wire that allows you to move the antenna around a little to find the best signal or for the best signal it may even have a socket that can be connected via a coaxial cable to a rooftop antenna. ![]() Most of these are small “dongles” that plug into the computer's USB socket (or dock connector on a Mac) and have a built-in or external antenna/aerial to pick up terrestrial DTT/Freeview TV. Gadgets that let you watch terrestrial DTT/Freeview TV on your PC or Mac while you're on the move have been around for several years, and are available from several suppliers such as Hauppauge and Elgato. Not much has changed, so we have added an update section near the end of the reviewĬovering the changes in the new version 2 app. Update June 2014: Since the first part of this review was written, Elgato have released version 2 of theirĪndroid app. The Elgato brand was sold to Corsair in 2018. If you are thinking of buying this product, make sure that the Android tablet you are planning to use it with is running Android 9 or earlier. With the increase in TV via internet streaming, there is a shrinking market for a DTT/Freeview based product, and as this model is discontinued it is possible that the app may never be updated for Android 10 and later. Also, at the time of writing, the Android app was last updated in 2019 for compatibility with Android 9, but reportedly does not work on later versions of Android we don't know if the Apple app works OK with modern iPads. UPDATE April 2023: The EyeTV W is discontinued and is no longer available retail, though you may be able to find it on Ebay or other similar sites.
