Many a night I've spent crying alone in my bedroom after being outvoted at tribal council! seems round here watching "big-boned" people being tortured in order to lose weight counts as unmissable TV while the fascinating mating habits of rare quolls does not!

Nice and compact and super portable, it doesn't require any external power supply or adapter and it's pretty much ready to go straight out of the box with easy set up and automatic channel scanning. And the USB2.0 high speed interface means it's ready for HDTV.

TESTS and Installation report:

ZTB reports that this Thingy is very easy to install just make sure that Zazzers understand that in order to install the drivers properly, the tumer has to be plugged in. Drivers are installed via the program NOT by device manager.

When connected to a normal antenna the Wand has picked up all the SD channels and the HD channels in one easy scan pass.(Brilliant!)

When using provided Antenna, it was average to say the least, hardly picked any channels, but I was not surprised due to the location the tests were conducted (Poor reception)

Overall excellent product, very user friendly software and simple installation, I would give it a thumb Up. (ZTB)

NOTE:

It should be evident that the WandTV does not improve the signal reception in your area. The quality of the reception you will get using the provided antenna is dependent on the signal reception quality in your area.    

Please note before buying this Thingy, we cannot guarantee you will get reception using the provided antenna and will not be able to provide any returns for reception issues.
