    Just got a Kworld DVB-T stick.. its the pico one .. i had my aerial connector hooked up to the reciever then i tried it on the dvb-t stick and im getting nothing whatsoever!

    Drivers are installed and it is detecting the stick but they ****ty software they give with it doesnt even give u a signal meter! i tried dvbviewer and its recognised but im not getting the saorview channels.. kind of annoying koz i was waiting a week for this !

    anyone know what might be wrong? i pick up the channels no probs with my reciever and im using the exact same aerial and connection

    Probably your drivers.
    I use windows media centre to watch with the kworld dvb-t stick, I ignored the bundled software.
    Find a small program called ScanChannelsBDA_UK.exe ....should find it with a google search. If you run it and it just closes straight away then you're BDA driver isn't right. If it scans and you don't pick anything up then you either have a problem with your aerial (probably not from what you've said) or maybe with the stick itself.
    I had to remove the drivers manually and then windows found the correct ones itself (windows 7). Hope this helps!

    Agreed. I aso originally installed software that came with the package but although it worked it was not great. i then removed all driver software and launched Windows Media centre and it picked up the device, installed drivers automatically and works fine, The screen layout is much better also.

    Hope this helps
