Then next thing you know works 100% I first tested it on my Samsung tablet using a USB c to usb connector using the app padtv HD it worked flawless. I then repeated the test on my Samsung s21 ultra phone worked amazingly.
Now the true test why I bought it I have a aftermarket off brand android car radio an I wanted to have a way to watch news in a emergency or just when Taking a break I plugged it in to the USB on back of radio zip tied the antenna to the roof downloaded the app yep I was in business got even better results an more channels. I personally believe it has even more potential I ordered a outdoor high gain antenna I can't wait to see the results...

The driver for Linux will not build. Maybe it will do if you use the specific kernel MyGica used to test its build, but it will not on a 5.15.
On Windows you will have to reduce your system protection in order to install the ancient driver. I did, and now I know my dongle does not have hardware iissues. Removing the driver is not possible without finding out its published name and forcing its removal.
Overall a truly disappointing experience. Some people reported successful installs, but they are one system upgrade away from experiencing what I went through. MyGica is completely unresponsive to any requests for assistance, check their support forum for confirmation.
By buying this device you'd be subsidizing a company that fundamentally does not care for its customers
