HDTV on Your Laptop!

Now I can justify taking my laptop on vacation!
Turn your laptop into HDTV player

Plextor (www.plextor.com) has come out with its Mini Digital HDTV Receiver, which connects to a laptop's USB port. The $99 receiver has an external antenna and software that scans for over-the-air HD signals.
Plextor's receiver only works with computers running Windows XP or Vista. The more computing horsepower you have – both memory and graphics – the better your viewing experience. Underpowered systems can produce a picture that occasionally stutters.
