Are you using the tiny little aerial that came with the unit (if one
did), or are you plugging it into your roof antenna? The little aerials
are useless; you will probably have to plug the card into your rooftop
aerial in order to pick up any channels. Having said that, my Pinnacle
73E USB stick won't pick up Seven or Nine even when plugged into the
roof.
