Hello Roger,


Depends on what died. If the notebook doesn't power up anymore, sure. But
if it just lost a drive or battery capacity you may be able to use it, at
least in Europe. I have heard that people in Germany buy these DVB-T
sticks that plug into USB, to watch digital TV on their computers. In most
regions over there TV has been converted to digital so you have a quite
complete array of channels. The sticks are supposedly cheap and must
contain the tuner.

EETimes showed a tear down of one of these sticks recently. Here's the
article:

and the image that went along with it:

These days I just would have a hard time to find anything worthwhile
watching :-)

Sendung mit der Maus?
