Hi there

a freind of mine bought one of these, but he can only get so much freeview channels, even though he had his house aeriel plugged into it.

he cant get football or nudie.

I thought with these usb sticks you can get what a freeview box gets or am i way off the mark

You cant get any channels that use a card slot (topup tv stuff) as most USB sticks dont have a card slot..
You should be able to get the other channels depending on what type of stick it is and what software it is using.
If its using WDM drivers on XP then its probably gonna be limited to the manufacturer's own software, but if there are BDA drivers for it then can use lots of different TV media applications, eg Mediaportal, Zoomplayer, GBPVR etc.
