    I have just bought an usb tv tuner and antenna to use with my PC, but when I try to scan the channels I can only pick up one channel. Even when I swape to a really big tv antenna that I use on my tv I still cant pick up anything else. Is this a problem with where I live or is it just that with PC tv tuner and antennas you aren't able to pick up many channels?

    If the antenna pulls in the stations to the TV, it should work with the tuner.
    My antenna is split three ways.
    Two TV's and a HDTV capture card in the PC.
    The feed to the capture card is further split between the digital and analog inputs and it has no problems picking up the signals.

    I would return the tuner.
