Re: Turn your Laptop monitor into a LCD TV

Hello Andrew,


... 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:

Thanks. The EET server seems to be down right now but the images are great. Amazing.


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

Sendung mit der Maus?


Call me a Luddite but I wouldn't even know what that is :-)

A few years ago a neighbor asked us whether we had seen David Letterman last night. "David who?". TV doesn't mean much here, except for the news. Instead of buying a big plasma TV like many around us we invested in a pool table. That's a lot more fun, going to play again tonight. There is a TV in that room but it hasn't run for at least a year.

Regards, Joerg
