It "looks" damn good saying you can watch digital and analogue TV on a laptop..... (Freeview).
Is it too good to be true? Anyone have one?
The minimum spec is P4 2Ghz which is quite high - anyone know if this is accurate? (For recording etc - fair enough, but streaming digital signal from freeview direct to the screen - a 500Mhz P3 can do that!).
Any experience before I gamble.....?

Hi ryanjjones. It appears to be a pretty decent all round package in a PCMCIA bus card. Whether it is value for money is how much it saves in buying a TV etc. Having been working with video and DVD recording etc for some time now, I would say the specifications for the PC are most likely to enable the direct recording. The faster the processor and the more memory you have makes it that much better for recording. Usually of more importance on displaying Video on a laptop is the actual graphics card it comes with. I would guess that any laptop that can play DVD's will be capable if using this to display digital or Anaologue TV images.

I've got a 'Hauppauge WinTV USB' device which plugs into the USB port of my laptop which gives my TV channels ok when I connect the TV aerial to it but I have not been able to figure out why there is no sound . . . I've got sound when I play DVD's or CD's or when I happen on websites with sound but this laptop / tv no sound problem has me baffled - can anyone advise me please.

I helped set up a system with one of these cards. There are two ways to get the sound. One is via the usb lead the other via a phono lead from the small output jack on the tv device into the input on your sound card. This is the best quality and is the standard setting. To use the usb connection you need to load some extra drivers from the cd.
