Watching TV On Your Notebook




"Multimedia maker Hauppauge releases the new WinTV-HVR900 hybrid TV stick, capable of transmitting either digital or analog TV signal to your PC or laptop.

Simply plug the device to an open USB 2.0 port (draws power as well so no external power source required) to watch, pause, or record TV.

The USB TV stick comes with a portable digital DVB-T antenna to receive digital TV transmissions. This cool device can also allow for you to schedule TV recordings -- TiVO on a laptop!

Currently, the WinTV-HVR900 will only be available in the UK."

Boy, the Brits have all the fun. This is one of many devices that add TV functionality to your computer via USB. This one stands out for the antenna, which should produce a better signal than more compact models. Why pay the premium for a Media Center Notebook when you can add the functionality with this simple device?
