Notes:

For Digital Terrestrial reception, a high gain aerial is recommended. The WinTV-MiniStick HD uses a rooftop aerial for DVB-T reception in the same way that most people currently receive their analogue television programmes. Some viewers will need to replace their aerials to receive digital transmissions if the installation is old or in poor condition. Digital Terrestrial coverage is improving all the time as digital terrestrial television transmitters are continuously being updated. However it may take some time for coverage to reach particular areas of the country.

The WinTV-MiniStick-HD supports DVB-T radio. DVB-T radio is not DAB radio or DMB radio.
To receive High Definition TV, there must be free-to-air HD TV channels broadcasted in your area. Please check the availability of these channels.
