The Terratec T USB 2.0 Stick has an exellent reception quality. I live in Hanover, - So in a typical DVB-T reception area, but my house or the neighborhood the Emfpangssignale shields so sharply, so I have nothing with the previous DVB-T receivers at all ü emfping, but when I read the software of Terratec USB 2.0 drives installed, what's really fast and totally uncomplicated went from equip and then activated the search, he found at first 27 stations! Well, I had to juggle the two rod antennas a little to recoup the station, but in the fact that the signal Quallität is in my house almost zero, that was really sensational !! Excellent is that this drive is fully compatible with the Windows Media Center is that one should use, because after you install Windows Vista no longer recognized the device and thus ran anything at first, but when I then the stick in Windows Media Center as it were freely switched and then started the tuning worked, everything works fine and the representation in the media center is really a lot more beautiful and practical. Having yet activated the Terratec Remote Control Editor, sat with the supplied remote control to operate all very easy and comfortable - just open the Media Center and click on "Live TV". The Emfpangs- and Bildqualliät is truly outstanding, - the image is stable and not jerky. All program data can be a button to easily view EPG (program guide). I recommend an active DVB-T antenna to connect, such as the "Skymaster 3600", with excellent gain that I bought here on Amazon, - so was any reception really a no-brainer, even though the antenna is with me on the floor! All in all a very good stick with extremely good stable reception characteristics, plenty of accessories and all easy to use. The price is a little high, but if you want to play it safe when it comes to receiving Quallität in number, should strike at this stick absolutely.
