I do not watch much TV, but family just show me a dongle like object to plug to USB port of a laptop (with an antenna,) so To watch free to air TV.
He bought this HP device (come with a remote control) for only $24 in Singapore. Anyone know what this is called (so to google) and how to buy one from Australia.

What other ways can I watch free to air TV anywhere?
Thanks.

        Australia uses the DVB-T standard. It will work here as well.

    If you have an Android phone or tablet, here is a much more portable version.

      Can also screw in a much larger antenna for a better signal.

      That one appears to be ATSC (for America) not DVB-T (what we use). Searching "DVB-T USB tuner" will give you heaps of options.

    Any suggestions on USB tuners that can be used on a Mac?
