does anyone get it work on windows 7 32 bit?
it works ok with the driver 11.10 on win7 64bit but can't find any drivers for win7 32bit.

any help?

thanks in advance

Lads in order to get a signal boost stick the antenna on the radiator (has a magnet so it won't fall).

Another option perhaps?

The ones like in the OP have that mini aerial adapter thing which can be quite flimsy/loose at times.

The one above is a straight plug in adapter.

Mind you, what are sunsky like as a company/seller?

Getting back to the Op, she shows up as

Winfast DTV Dongle Gold BDA in Windows 7 and Xp SP3 for me.

For the latter here is the driver you need

Extract all files, plug in the dongle and follow this manual driver install guide
http://www.hyundaiit.com/images/down...r_Setup_en.pdf

Point the HAVE Disk search towards AF15BDA.inf inside my driver folder and click OK. Should ask you to restart your PC and voila, your dongle is ready to roll.

Btw, have the dongle working perfectly using this indoor aerial (currently avilable in Lidl)

Hi Mutunas,

Any joy locating a Win 7 32 bit driver ?
I could use a Win 7 32-bit AMD driver if anyone has found the like anywhere.
I found what is apparently 64-bit AMD Win 7 on MS's web site but no good it refused to install, then I realised the laptop was 32-bit.

thanks,

Cranium

Just to say a big thank you to rockn and slikvik. I bought two of these a few weeks ago but only installed in the last few days. I had the driver issues on my Windows 7 64 bit laptop. I read back through the thread and installed rockn's driver with slikvik's instructions and it is working now.

Just as a follow on, I nearly have line-of-sight on the Collins Barrack's transmitter and I am probably about 5-6 miles from it. I have to be careful where I locate the antenna indoors. If people have correctly installed the drivers and are finding nothing on the scan it is probably antenna related. If you are mobile with a laptop maybe get up high and closer to your transmitter and see if it makes a difference. At least it will identify the problem

Quick update on sunsky.
Ordered and purchased the wandtv stick. Delivered in 9 days.
Installed and working great for ''Saorview''

Still waiting for buyincoins, although I guess I did purchase 4 other things so maybe that's why it is taking longer.

[take everything]

Lads if someone gets this to work for me i'll be eternally grateful.
I've done everything in this thread- got the driver that Rockn posted and followed the steps 1 through 4 posted above.
I'm using Windows 7 (64 bit).
Same thing every time.: It seems to recognise the device, scans for about 5-10 mins, then says no channels found.
I've attached the antenna to radiators, biscuit tins etc.
No luck.

Help, please.

You mean the little antenna that came with it?

You could be in a bad signal area that requires something more substantial.
Would you have a roof aerial, or some rabbit ears to double check things.

Learn to understand the difference bewteen Vertical and Horizontal signals and check your transmitter off the list below.

Half of all aerials work best on 'their sides' , eg Collins in Cork and Tonabrocky in Galway are Vertical but 3Rock and Woodcock are horizontal! This one is Horizontal and the tip should point at the transmitter while the flat panels are for the back. That is not an indoor, I know.

Rabbit ears are VHF, probably won't work. They would for RTE (not TG4) on analogue.

Get something more directional like a Loop aerial or this Lava model below where the double loop is shown vertical and the mesh should be on the far side away from the transmitter.



Finally you may find a building bounces the signal strongly, eg an office block with 'metallic' coated windows.

Read this if you need more.

Thanks.
Couple of questions.
1. Does the antenna need a clear line of sight to the transmitter.
2. How would you go about attaching this particular antenna to a bigger aerial (the antenna screws off but there's no obvious way of attaching a bigger aerial to it that i can see). Or is there some way you attach a bigger aerial to the actual DVB-T receiver itself.
3. Also, is there more chance of picking something up sticking the antenna to metal (biscuit tin, radiator etc).

Apologies if these seem dumb.

[Sponge Bob]

Put the antenna inside a biscuit tin perhaps with the mouth open facing transmitter. See link at bottom or my post and read.

The sticks come with an MCX Connector so you need this below to connect to an aerial or the smaller MMCX connector, read the spec and see which.

when tried to install it in my home pc (win7 64bit), had the same issue: recognised ok and then scanning channels very slowly.
this is an indication of bad drivers.
I downloaded and installed rockn's drivers, installed them manually through control panel and then everything ok.

if you have problem with antenna signal, why don't try to search the channels with an external antenna (use it only for the first scanning), and after scanning is done, try to see if you can use these indoor antennas?
