At first I was skeptical, because that Ante Nchen is quite small (okay, antennas need not be large in order to receive good - but still ...), but all my concerns are unnecessary - the reception is 1A.
For me the stick comes to the netbook for use. Windows 7 Starter is the operating system and there are no problems. The installation is performed Rip-Rip ... only when the program is looking for you need viiiiel patience (took an hour for me). But that is not the operating system. Class is that everything is so nice and compact, so that the mobile use nothing stands in your way. Whether during cooking, at the Christmas baking or barbecuing on the terrace - Switch netbook and go.
Considerations, holds if the stick a constant load was able to be safely ignored. I sometimes leave him a whole day through - without loss of quality. Of course, the stick is quite warm, but that will also any other medium which operates :-)
Conclusion: a real alternative to satellite dish!
