New USB TV


For years there have been gadgets to get a TV signal into your computer. Frankly, none have really interested me. This one, with its small form factor of just the size of a USB flash drive has me drueling.
Roughly the same size as a lighter (and with more than a passing resemblance to memory keys from a few years back), the U880 is – incredibly – a full featured TV Card. The 9 x 2.6 x 1.1cm “Stick” has a USB2.0 interface, is NTSC, PAL and SECAM compatible, timer records in MPEG1/2 and 4, can timeshift, captures single frames and works without any external power adaptor. For image enthusiasts, picture brightness, hue, saturation, contrast and sharpness can be customised for each TV channel.
