Good thing there are DVB-T2 models available. I have a Philips Full HD 24 inches monitor with speakers, After watching your video I ordered this tunner to watch OTA channels on my monitor. I also have an HDMI switch so I can change the input from PC to satellite receiver and OTA Tuner stick.

Excellent video, I was looking at that, looks good, Thank You.

How so?

How do you pair the remote from the original TV remote? That way we only use one remote instead of original TV remote to turn off and ATSC remote for the channels.

It's well thought out, even though it's more complicated than a Boeing 737 Max simulator.

If they THINK that I now have to pay for over the airwaves broadcasting tv signals, THEY can forget it!!!!! Might as well unplug my tv set and forget watching tv now forevermore! Things in this country are expensive ENOUGH and over the air tv signals are the only last thing left at present that people can take advantage to get their news, weather forecasts and just plain entertainment, now the government wants to charge us all for over the air tv signals, FORGET IT!!!! Whare are we at now, russia,china, north korea? What now, we going to start watching TASS the russian news agency now?

How do you get the ir receiver cable to display the correct channel number (23-1) instead of the .C010. I notice yours is saying the same as mine.

I will check on this.

can you connect a coax cable tv to it in order to watch cable tv on a monitor?

@NorthcoasterHobby

No- the coaxial input is only for over the air TV antenna frequencies- plus the stick only decodes ATSC 1.0, not cable formats like QAM, etc.

Same as a set top DTV box, same price, maybe only advantage is compact for behind a computer monitor on wall. Some of the cheap DTV boxes had poor power supply internal that ran hot and failed and or poor ventilation on video chips, some running 160F+. I added internal heatsink or ran without cover to help extend life, namely Ematics brand.

Interestingly enough, many people may not notice the thin, almost invisible layer of plastic on many DTV boxes. The plastic blocks the vents on top. Many viewers have told me they never noticed the plastic until I pointed it out in a couple videos. Cheap power supplies and extra layers of plastic probably don’t mix too well! kzread.info/dash/bejne/hn9oq7d9mZuZopM.htmlsi=wm-06bl2HMqm2JbM

The one from GT media needs no power.hopefully you can test that one out.

It is powered through the USB connection. Although it is ATSC 3.0 capable it also doesn’t have an HDMI or AV output. It also must be connected to an Android phone or TV box. I’d like to test it but I don’t have any ATSC 3.0 signals anywhere near me. ☺️

Good question- I’m not 100% sure, but it’s highly unlikely. I don’t see any way to do that in the menu, unless someone knows how to modify the stick.

Technology at it's finest. Go big or go home ..is replaced by size. Lol. Now where do all of the old boxes wind up?

If the older boxes still work, use them! This tuner stick is cool, but it’s essentially still just a DTV box. The advantages are that it can be hidden behind a TV, or used as a portable tuner.

Just bought one of these. Came here to see why it doesn't work. AHA. Connected correctly but mine does not say boot. Tried it on 2 TVs. Correct inputs. Sigh.

Whats the best antenna?

@NorthcoasterHobby

Antennas are not a one-size fits-all. Antennas receive specific RF frequencies depending on their design. Other factors such as your location relative to the broadcast signals, distance, obstructions, land terrain, trees as well as transmitter power all play a role in choosing the best antenna for your reception area. Here’s a playlist of TV antenna reviews I’ve made: TV Antenna Reviews kzread.info/head/PLDX6gLCL4WMwMAycjBF3_ApXyAfwHNV4f Try this website to find where the broadcast towers are located in your area to give you an idea of which direction to point an antenna: www.antennaweb.org/ Enter your zip code. Click ‘antenna will be installed 30 feet above ground’- this will give you a better listing of available channels. Press ‘go’. You’ll be able to see a map of the broadcast towers relative to your location, as well as a list of available channels in your TV market.
