Anybody have any luck installing on Windows7 64bit?

Anytime I plug in the dongle it fails installing device driver even though I've already installed the driver from the CD. Not sure if there is a problem with the device or do I need a different driver

yup, that's what I have.

i just plugged mine in and it was recognised by windows and it installed the drivers itself, without me needing to do anything. channel scan in MCE picked up all the channels and i'm sorted.

it's possible yours contains slightly different hardware. have you tried searching for the device hardware ID (from the properties in device manager) online to see if you can pick up newer drivers for it?

i did need to get a decent antenna though, the built in one wouldn't pick up the channels clearly with the supplied mini-antenna.

Did you try installing the driver itself, directly from the folder in the CD instead of using the autorun? That worked for me (after a restart)

What kind of antenna did you get and where did you get it?

I'm not picking up any channels, even though I'm sticking my aerial out the window on a laptop..

Yes. It is only giving me an option of updating or uninstalling now. When I try either the installer crashes. I will try it on another PC but I think it may be a dud

picked up a one4all powered digital indoor antenna panel for about 25 quid from currys.

when i got the DVB stick it came with a pigtail adapter to fit a regular TV antenna so it was just a plug and play replacement and i get a clear signal on all channels from my attic office now with it.

Blaze didn't work very well for me and the number wouldn't work when I tried it again on a different PC at a different IP address. I'll root it out later. It works better on VLC once the settings are correct.
Media-Open Capture Device-DVB-T. The transponder frequency to use for Dublin is 738MHz(738000000Hz). The bandwidth is 8Mhz and hey presto Euro2012 in glorious HD on headphones. Enjoy!!

Thanks for that, how do I change channels in VLC though? Ive Googled it but the playlist suggestion doesnt work, all I have is RTE2.

Also did anyone get the remote control working with it?

Click "Playback" and mouse over "Program". All of the channels should be there.

Thanks!

can anyone upload an installer or drivers for windows XP?

I am struggling to find them online and my cd is nowhere to be seen.

Why don't you use drivers from Leadtek:

It was already recommended here, it is the same device officially produced by Leadtek. I used this drivers for XP and they were OK (not sure about Vista).

Here's the disc - for me VLC or WMP outperform the clunky BlazeTV suite, so the bare driver was sufficient:
