why not to buy a Mega sky digital tv usb

Ryan99 · 14th December 2006, 9:18 PM

i recently bought one of these things and ever since ive installed it, it has been screwing up in the following ways:

- scanning for channels takes so long you might as well go next door to watch tv

- changing channels is so god damn painfull because you have to scan for a new channel several bloody times when you should only have to do so once after setup when it should pick up all of the channels but lucky me most of the shit i get is SBS news in korean.

-The reciever on the bloody thing is on the back of the USB which makes it really interesting to turn the volume up which is pretty much its only use because you CAN'T CHANGE THE CHANNEL but the remote is renderd pretty much useless because you have to be a centimetre away from it to get it to work.

- On top of all that the crappy little antenna requires you to be next to a signal tower thing.

- And last but not least the quality. what a let down i mean i was realy annoyed to find that when i picked up a channel that wasn't i korean it looked as though the show was filmed in a snowstorm

all in all BIGGEST waste of my $80 EVER!!!!!

I must admit when I got mine I had high hopes, but got rid of it quickly, I took it back where I got it, I even plugged an external antenna into mine and it made nearly no difference, was one of the biggest pieces of poo I ever paid money for.
