thank you for the reviews. Can this receiver be compatible with windows 8? In about 2006 I bought your Hawking mini dish-like receiver that I used in my RV and it worked great to pick up free broadcast wi fi while traveling.
Now I have a new HP w/windows 8.

Accepted Answer

Personally, I have never tried with windows 8. I looked at the website and they have the windows 7 driver and it works very well. Note that in 2006 most people were not paranoid that they would be hacked into so they left their wifi system open. Things have changed and now people lock their routers so you won't be so lucky with respect to free wifi. I would shoot an e-mail directly to the manufacturer and ask them about a driver for windows 8 just to be sure.
In the meantime I would use your old computer. All my computers (3 laptops and 2 desktops)  are between 5 and 12 years old. There is no reason to get something brand spaking new.
