    Ya. Thats what I was thinking. But I heard the USB isn't too good. I think I will just run it through my desktop.

    i think the usb version of the 650 should be fine (but it is bulky)

    I suggest you get the ATI TV Wonder 600 USB which is available from ( Best Buy for ~$99)

    It works great along with the Windows Vista Media Center.

    The type of antenna you use will greatly determine the quality of the picture you receive.

    Check out www.antenaweb.org to find out which antenna works best in your area.

    I have previously owned the Tv Wonder 600 USB and i would NOT recommend it
    First of all, I could not even get it to install properly for about 5 hours because the cd that comes with it would not let me install drivers, second of all, it is not detected by media center, but instead crashes it
    Anyway, at bestbuy, you can get the 650 USB for appx. 30 dollars more
