My uncles moving house... so he had it lying around in a box and he called the box "electical crap" so i was like "u need any of that" and ended up saying i could have it.
well i got back from his tonight and tryed to hook it up, i dunno if i got the right plug for it or if it even needs a plug anyway.
well i hooked it up to the USB, laptop detects it.
went and downloaded a 180mb driver for it, installed.
so when i go to select the tv option it says this:

dunno what to do about it.
im not sure if it needs the power connecting upto it or not...
i picked up a plug which was next to it and theres a small light on the plug... that doesnt turn on when i plug it in or when i plug it into the USB device.
so i decided to try some other plugs for it. they didnt work eather.
dunno if it matters but the plug i picked up with it says 1000ma on it, the 2 i tryed 1 says, 700ma other says 300ma.
any ideas what i can try? :ermm:
i think im using USB1 with it on my laptop well what a popup from windows said. so could try hooking it up to my pc and using it on that see if theres any difference but i dont think there will be... as it says it supports USB 1 and USB 2 on the website:

i tryed opening it up to see if its taken any damage on the inside and doesnt seem to be anything wrong with it.
isnt a manual with it and couldnt seem to find one on the net for it.
cant even find a site on the net that sells it so no chance of seeing how much its worth or tracking down another plug for it or seeing if i got the right plug for it. (off back to my uncles in 2 or 3 days so could pick the right 1 up if i can find it)
so any idea what there is left to try?
not a big deal if it doesnt work but would be sweet if i can get it to work would save me buying one myself as im planning on getting one in a week along with a new 20" monitor to play with during the easter holidays :)
