USB TV Dongle

[Jonestheroad]

I've just bought a USB dongle thing that is supposed to give access to up to 18,000 TV channels through the Internet. sounds too good to be true and at £2.52 including delivery I'm not getting my hopes up. Anybody had any experience of these things?

Oh dear. It's just a memory stick preloaded with websites from around the world that are freely accessible to anyone with a pc and the internet.

Mostly obscure foreign channels and college sports from around the world

Sorry, but as has been said, all you've bought is memory stick loaded with a load of links to freely available websites showing a variety of "TV" channels.

Well, at £2.52 for a memory stick (which you could wipe of its existing content and re-use anyway) it's hardly a major loss, is it?

As others have indicated, you'll get a free video player program which is preloaded with links to websites which show some form of video content. If you really want (for example) to be able to quickly switch from watching the proceedings of the Canadian parliament (in French) to listening to an Indian speech radio station (broadcasting in Hindi) and then onto US religious and shopping channels (before watching sport on Archery TV - yes, it really does exist!), you might have purchased a worthwhile product. Otherwise, simply recycle the memory stick and get the same channels (and possibly a few worthwhile ones as well) for free by searching here:
