    Hi everyone, I am not sure where this question would go, so I will post it here and if it doesnt you can tell me otherwise.

    I would like to get television on my laptop. I have been into Harvey Norman (Australia) and looked at their tv packs for computers. It looks pretty straight forward- plug the usb in, and the mini antenna. There is also a nomal tv antenna plug, which I am not 100% where it goes. Into the wall socket or somewhere else?
    Am I right? Is it that easy? What is the reception like? What is a good brand? I believe I was looking at Pinnacle.

    Any help would be great, as I dont wanna be spending $250AUD and find out it doesnt work as there are no refunds.
    Thanks guys!

    Usually there is an antenna or a coaxial cable just like in normal TVs. So if you have cable tv, you get a coaxial wire that you plug into your TV, but with this you can plug in into ur notebook.
