Default USB DVB-T (freeview) recommendations

I am looking to buy a USB DVB-T (freeview) stick ... anyone know any good ones? especially those that work well in low signal areas!!

My current one is fairly good but will not pick up BBC, other mates in my house have different sticks and they get it no problem.

Why not buy the same as your mates?

They were expensive .. I have been spending far too much the past few months on a new computer and new car.

It is either one like my mates or a 19" HDTV LCD

It's probably the expense that has resulted in the improved reception.

Might sound a bit silly but, if you haven't yet bought one, try playing the TV through Media Center. When I did this it improved the amount of stations I could pick up.
