I used the tiny TV antenna which shipped with the dongle, but heard nothing at first, even after tuning to powerful local FM stations (using the WFM setting) and to our local NOAA weather radio station (using NFM). I plugged it in to a Gateway Netbook running XP, ran the script referred to in the article, installed the driver, and then ran SDR#. I picked up an inexpensive DVB-T dongle from Amazon ( but it is now out of stock) which was shipped directly from Shenzen, China. Turn Avira off, run Zadig, then turn it back on again. Basically, the report of a trojan in the USB installer that Zadig created is a false positive (see discussion, including results of an Avira staff test of the file, at ). I found my own solution, and thought that I would post it here in case anyone else stumbles across this thread. Has anyone else encountered this problem and, more importantly, is there a workaround, another way to get the WinUSB driver onto my system and associated with the DVB-T device? Without the ability to install the driver for the dongle, I'm dead in the water. ![]() I'm running XP Home SP3 on a Gateway LT20 netbook with a 1.6GB Intel Atom processor. ![]() When I ran Zadig to install the WinUSB driver, my Avira antivirus software picked up a trojan called TR/7 and would not let me proceed with the install. As suggested both in the article and its update on QST In Depth, I downloaded a batchfile which downloaded the necessary software. ![]() Robert Nickels article in the January QST was exciting, and inspired me to try out SDR using a DVB-T dongle acquired from Amazon.
