Anyone got this thing to work?
Reviews say (always) ditch the supplied aerial and go for a "proper" feed. Sound advice.
The channel scan takes about 5 mins to find 40 odd stations - so the hardware is working.
The supplied Total Media software causes CPU utilization to go to 100% on a P4 2.8GHz 256MB (or more) VM under VMWare. Sound and vision are "jittery" when running TotalMedia.
I have googled and the only alternate software DVBViewer does not see the hardware nor drivers in the XP VM - and won't install under Win XP.
I created a KnoppMyth VM (VMWare ) in an hour but it just loops with a strange Linux "suspend2" fault at start up - doesn't get anywhere near loading any usable software.
Is there any other XP or Linux software I can try with this device? I have emailed Freecom support but not expecting much sense from them.
