In general the stick worked very well. Unfortunately, I was not previously aware that me the stick alone does not help and I still need to purchase a license if I do not want him to use with the included and probably quite Spartan program for Windows. I had bought the stick for my Synology NAS to accommodate it directly broadcasts from the digital cable network can. There are a free add-on, but that will only work with a fee-based license. When this then, you realize that no EPG is included for programming recordings, but you must include sending you an external provider who wants to have also paid a monthly fee. There are a variety from which to choose. But I could not free, but only buy a pig in a poke test. So cost of the stick, cost of the software and regular cost of the EPG service. At this point I have to drive again cleared in the package and sent back. I had not imagined so and was not worth this functionality. Then I'll just continue on my DVB-C receiver.
