    Hi,

    I was wondering if there is a TV tuner on the market available for notebooks which plugs directly into your USB port (no power supply required) and has its own built in antenna (so no external antenna is required to be plugged in).

    Links to such a product would be great thanks :)

    from the site
    "Your WinTV-USB will deliver a better video image if your PC's or laptop's graphics card supports "overlay" mode. Most current graphics cards support "overlay" mode"

    Would a laptop with like intel extreme be able to do "overlay mode"?
