Anyone use a tv tuner for your laptop?
I'm looking at buying one and don't know how well they'd perform on the road. You can plug in your home antenna and get excellent reception ( we've moved to digital TV over here ) and you can basically end up with a DVR. I guess it all depends on the strength of the signal.

I haven't seen anything like that for a laptop. I've had one on a PC for awhile. I really don't even use it much anymore.

Does that thing get it's signal analog or digital?
If it's analog, then it won't work here after February 2009.

I used the Pinnacle setup for a road trip and it worked great close to town. The antenna isn't that strong so you aren't going to be able to pick up the digital/HDTV signal unless you are pretty close to the tower.

Thanks Billy. Yeah, looks like a good set up, the Pinnacle. I may get an external antenna for the camper. We're on digital here now, would make an excellent recorder plugged in to the home antenna.

Doug, i belive it can recieve both. This unit has dual tuners so you get picture in picture and can record one program while watching another. The software is reportedly very easy to set up and use (good for me) and the remote is great.
