USB DVB-T dongle for Windows 10?

Could anyone recommend a USB DVB-T stick for Windows 10?

I have a MobiDTV stick similar to the one below that's worked for years for me on Windows 7 but won't work on Windows 10. I think it's a driver problem.

So if anyone can suggest a replacement or, even better, a driver that would make my existing stick work again I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

I'll give that a go. Fingers crossed!

It would appear that my MobiDTV Dual dongle is toast - a couple of years idle hasn't been good for it and it's picked up some corrosion.
I had to wait to test it on a Win7 PC that it had worked successfully previously and the hardware wasn't detected so it would appear to be kaput.

Anyone have any suggestions for a replacement?
Looking at amazon it would appear I've a choice between cheap £20 dongles or else spring out for £80 - £100 which is beyond what I'd be inclined to pay.

My budget for this would be something up to €50. A single tuner would be fine if no dual tuners fit the bill.

I got the haupauge pctv 282e recently and find it very good. To save a few quid, buy a "used" one from amazon for about 40 sterling. Some people buy the stick and get no reception on the supplied toy aerial and send it back. you can still return it if there's a fault:

I paid about €8 each for a couple of DVB-T USB dongles which are working fine for me. Similar (not same) to this one

EDIT:

I think this is the one I got
