It is easier than you may think to get proper digital HD TV on your laptop, all that is required is a digital TV tuner that plugs into the USB port and then instantly locates what channels are available to watch, it is that simple.
The device works in the same way as a digital TV tuner in an HD TV does, the only issue is that it does not work while the device is moving.
Here are some of the facts and figures of the HDTV receiver:
It uses the same ATSC tuner found in full-sized HDTVs and supports up to 1920 x 1080 resolution. It also allows listening and recording of FM radio stations. Includes software that allows you to schedule and record content as MPEG4 files. Works with Windows 7, Vista, and XP SP2 (not compatible with 64-bit systems). With digital broadcasts, a weak signal will result in no picture. Includes remote. 3 1/2″ L x 1″ D. (3 oz.)
Priced at $79.95
