    You should check the Microsoft website (or any site about the media center) for compatible devices. If its supported, it should work flawlessly, just put the antenna near the window and it will find all available DVB-T channels.

    ok thanks i'll check. so would i only get free to air channels (7, 9, 10 and abc over here) or would i be able to get others but need to pay for them?

    Edit: tried also looking for compadability on site but can't find what brand or what ever it is. might just have to risk it.

    I have this HD Tv tuner from digitalnow.com.au and its sweet! The provided aerial could only get SBS! I suggest to hook it up to an external antenna, especially if u live in a place with a low signal. With that yeah, u'll only get the free to air channels. :)

    Then get the indoor ones that are AC powered. Im currently using a Digitor indoors & can get a quality strength of 88-94%. :)
