    What is the best way to watch basic channels on my laptop? I've been looking into the Pinnacle HD USB piece but am not sure if it is exactly what I am looking for.

    *I'm figuring I'll need to plug something into USB but I'd rather not have to plug anything into a wall. (Cable wires or anything like that.) All I want are the basic channels.

    Thanks.

    The Pinnacle USB HD comes with an antenna I think.

    Yeah I saw it came with an antenna. However, when I talked to a friend who works with computers he told me it doesnt work great. Has anyone had any first hand experience with it?
