what do you guys think?

also why avermedia why not hauppauge?
 
This is the only PCMCIA TV tuners that I found; if hauppage makes one I haven't seen it. (Although they DO make models in USB)
 
Why would you want to watch TV and your laptop? I have been thinking about getting one of these but just can't justify it when I have a TV, what are the bennefits to this over the actual TV? You have to have cable or something to hook into this don't you?
 
But you have to already have cable in order to watch it right? So how do you do it? just plug it in to something?
 
If he could hook a small antanae to it and pick up over the air signals from NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, WB, etc. Would work as well as haveing a portable LCD TV, just with a much bigger screen.
