Hello, Joh,
I've had a quick look at this thing, and for 30-odd quid I don't suppose
you can go far wrong.
You might be interested in the Computer Shopper review comparing this
product with one from Terotech, much more expensive, but possibly easier
to use.
The link is this:-
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/shopper/reviews/79099/freecom-dvbt-usb-stick.html
The U S B stick you ask about is a bit of gubbins that plugs into a U S B
2 port, with an antenna and a control panel thing. The illustrations are
so awful it's hard to tell what size anything is, and Novatech don't even
put Alt text on their images (slapped wrist and off to bed with no supper
for them).
Is there anything specific you want to know?
Vince.
