The TV Stick could be just what you need when your sitting at a Starbucks and get tired of surfing the ‘Net (GASP! Yeah this CAN happen, even to me). If your laptop is faster than 800MHz (2.4 GHz for DVD quality), runs Windoze, and has a USB 2 port you can watch analog TV. No mention of what the working frequencys, but it does say that it will work with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM. That should just about cover it, at least for non HDTV transmissions. You can do all the things you can with a regular DVR, records in MPEG1/2 and 4, timeshift, captures single frames, all that good stuff. You can even adjust the sharpness, saturation, contrast and hue for each channel. The thing is tiny too, only 9.0 x 2.6 x 1.1 cm and best of all it is powered by the USB port. No messy cables or the dreaded second USB cable to act as a power supply (I so hate that).
The only input is for an antenna, so your not going to be capturing video from a camera or hooking this up to cable. Think of it as being able to turn your laptop into a TV. Neat, eh?
