I purchased this product not too illusions.J'habite Belgium, and with my old antenna rake of 15, I do not even captais M6. I received the device very quickly. Initially I was a bit put off by the size of the manual, so I read the first page only ("before switching on"), then I plugged; and there, in minutes, all strings are installed on my old CRT TV (including English channels + 3 Belgian Dutch-speaking channels, and the Belgian radios!). Alas, here would not last 15 days, no way to change channels (blocked on France 2). So I started at the beginning, I have changed (new) batteries supplied (an unknown brand) by two others, and everything is back in order. Misses the on / off button. SUITE: July 27, 2011. Alas, alas, the battery problem is far from resolved. In four months of use, I had to use AT LEAST twenty batteries (Duracell and VARTA yet), but the remote's "food" in a few days! Yet I do not play, I do not record, and I'm not a "mad zapper". It seems that 2 LR03 batteries (AAA) are not enough to feed this remote. The price of batteries will soon exceed that of the decoder (no kidding)!
