I finally managed to get my dinky TV tuner to strut its funky stuff in a typically blokey kind of way.
This involves not asking for help in a not asking for directions kind of way but trying every possible (and some highly implausable) ways to get it to load. Eventually , as my tablet had been previosly infested with sundry worms, trojans and viruses (all suposedly dealt with) I rebooted my machine from the recovery disk.
Bobs your Uncle and Fanny's your Aunt...........IT WORKS.
Now all I have to do is fathom out the remote and I can use it as a video recorder/time shift thing as the dinky ariel which should enable you to roam and watch doesnt pick up enough signal in Southampton.
Today I shall be listening to Gary Moore/Still got the Blues.
