Do take note that T230 is an old product with very limited support even from their own manufacturer. Also there are limited DVB software available that work well with this TV stick without going BSOD.

FYI, I also have this product but rather stick to IPTV using Kodi + addon.

My PC just moved from one room to another, and in the new room, don't have the TV outlet on the wall.

Since my PCIe card is the old Avermedia M135, which cannot support DVB-T2, i am thinking of buying a new PCIe card that uses antenna, as the old one needs to connect via the TV Coaxial RF cable.

I saw online the PCI-E card is around $90

Avermedia Nova
Not an expert.
I am using TBS6281 dual tuner PCI-E card with antenna sticking out of the window. Card has been replaced with TBS6281SE. Pretty stable so far in Windows 10.
For your consideration.

Believe someone (Kiwi8?) had issues with the TBS PCI-E quad tuner. For that price, you can consider Hauppauge QuadHD.

IMHO unless one needs multiple tuner on a single device PCIe is the way to go? However nowadays with mITX systems and SFFs getting more mainstream where motherboard does not have a PCI-e slot USB is the way to go. My HTPC also multiple tuners with 2 x USB DVB-T2/C tuners (Geniatech T230 + Hauppauge 292E) Windows 7 64 + NPVR/WMCE no issues since day 1 ^^

ya thats my worry

Well, Lazada do provide Buyer Protection so can always return within 7 days if you're not happy with the product (false adverting).

The thing with buying from Lazada is that there is no easy way to contact the sellers regarding product inquiry.

precisely, btw what will be the impact if the usb stick is not Fully Compliant with v1.3.1?

Can any expert can advise on my situation?

I bought a new TV with Digital TV ready and i plan to install it at Living room and move my old TV(non-Digital TV) to my master bedroom.

My master bedroom do not have wall plug.
I plan to using DVB-T2 antenna for my old TV in my master bedroom.
Can i use starhub set up box together with DVB-T2 antenna without plug to wall plug?
Or i have to buy another set up box with DVB T2 antenna for my old TV?

No, SH STB only has DVB-C tuner, you need a STB with DVB-T2 tuner for your old TV set.

STB = Set Top Box
