| Digital TV on a laptop through USB 2.0 device, does it work for anyone here? Would like to hear from anyone having good results viewing this. I have a Toshiba M35X with integrated video, and it has trouble playing back some high-resolution, high-motion videos from its own hard drive, so I imagine this would even be worse playing back a digital video image filtered through its USB port. The varous websites touting digital TV adaptors are all a bit coy on the quality of display produced on laptops, and some specify that integrated graphics cards won't work. Frozen or pixilated images really ruin my experience of watching TV on a laptop. I can receive a dozen digital stations OTA at home, and I have been thinking that a USB ATSC & NTSC receiver might be a substitute from a set-top box digital/analog converter for my old analog TV, in addition to being of use when away from home. The groups and sites dedicated to digital TV are not very helpful in getting this kind of information. |

The simplicity and certainty sold me. jl |

I'm using a DVB-T USB receiver from freecom and it just runns great. ArtFD schrieb: > Would like to hear from anyone having good results viewing this.
