I bought an Elgato DTT unit at the MacExpo a couple of weeks ago. It works pretty well with their external aerial, but I have found a couple of things about it that are a little worrying.
1. I cannot seem to get Channel4 or ITV. Apparently this is an issue with aerial strength and most people using the included aerial cannot get these channels.
2. Many times I find the unit is unable to pick up a signal when I plug it in, but the moment I unplug my external hard drives (FW800 and FW400) the signal all of a sudden comes back and the unit begins to work well. I wonder if having many devices plugged into a notebook would draw power from the DTT and decrease the signal strength.
Anyhow, if anyone has any fixes on any of the above, pls let me know.
