Silly question but did you install the supplied software and then let it scan for channels etc.

If you did, it may be the aerial isnt strong enough.

Those USB tuners require a decent aerial to work, if you got one of the crappy little ones with it, i'd suggest upgrading it to a decent one.

i think you also need USB2, i have a digiTV kit and have the same problem, but ive been informed that you need USB2 for it to work better.

Signal strength is very important with freeview. Depends on the area and everything. You'll not pick it up with a tiny aerial inside a house normally.

You've probably been buying rubbish again without checking product reviews or speaking to the expert - ME!

Hi all,
I have just bought one of those blazdtv 2.0 receivers. I cannot get a signal so I am obviously disgruntled! it doesnt have a standard arial connection so I cannot try another arial, are there any frequency settings I can change to increase my chances of getting the bad boy to work?

cheers all and be gentle as I am a noob!!
