I have a freeview USB gadget,you dont need a tv card and the aerial plugs into the end of the USB connector,the power scource is the laptop.The little aerial supplied is not much use unless your are in a strong signal area I use a portable aerial with good results.

Not sure if you mean the Sagem at £30 which is L220 x D120 x H35, it also tapers to the front which makes it look even slimmer.
Anyway we have one of these and is run from a 'plug top' transformer but works fine and picked up 103 channels!! at the last count. What I most like is the remote which again is very small works at any angle, unlike the one it replaced which needed pin point accuracy to change channels and cost a lot more!
I bought a very cheap low end of range free view box about a year ago from ebay £20 including postage have used it several times whilst camping, always got a picture, depends what postcode your at, I also use it at home to compliment sky tv in another room works great, and when the current system goes blank in a few years time, ill be ok I HOPE. Did have to get another arieal for camping mind apparently it needs to be a digital type got it from Argos cant remember price but fairly cheap.

Hi I have the freeview through the usb and it works ok, as said previously, the ariel is not much use, but I use it with the booster ariel and it works ok.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
