blog.scifi.com — With RCA's MPC4000 "Laptop Teleceiver," though, all we'd need is a notebook with decent resolution to get those beautiful HD images — direct from the airwaves and fed right into our PC's USB port. At 2 ounces, the mini HD tuner won't weigh down our carry-on, and the collapsible antenna neatly clips onto the side of the monitor.

It's all good until you get an e-mail like the one my best friend got from his ISP...I just edited out his personal info and IP address's. Otherwise he was crapping a brick and scared as hell that he could possibly get sued. If you guys thought they weren't going after people who download tv programs, this might make you think again about hitting up bit torrent for something you could just record over the air anyway for free.> Notice of Action under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act>> Abuse Incident Number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Report Date/Time: Wed, 8 Nov 2006 06:46:18 -0800>>(name and address edited out)>>> Dear Comcast High-Speed Internet Subscriber:>> Comcast has received a notification by a copyright owner, or its> authorized agent, reporting an alleged infringement of one or more> copyrighted works made on or over Comcast's High-Speed Internet service> (the 'Service').

thats what you get for using bittorrent...be a real man and use usenet.I would love to see comcast send you that same letter saying that you downloaded something from THEIR servers.

Phoenixfury - uTorrent + encryption + Port 80 = nearly impossible to track that to you.

"though, all we'd need is a notebook with decent resolution to get those beautiful HD images "Ummm... Dell has sold laptops with 1920x1200 LCD screens for a couple of years. It's the laptops that have been wating for the HDTV content. Not the other way around.

Nice, but EyeTV hybrid is the size of a large thumb drive and is less expensive:<a class="user" href="http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyetvhybridna">http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyetvhybridna</a>
