HDTV on Your Laptop
I’m a big fan of DVRs. I have 2 Tivos, a Comcast DVR, a PC equipped with BeyondTV, and 2 media center PCs. I actually don’t watch all that much TV, but with all the options I have I can watch what I want wherever I want. And I’m a bit of a technology whore. I just buy stuff to try it out…
So I’m kind of excited to hear about Plextor’s new USB HDTV reciever.
The high-speed USB 2.0 receiver comes bundled with software that automatically scans for free air-to-air digital and HD signals in a given area and will subsequently pull them in with a flat digital antenna. Users can then watch and record live TV with standard definition TV and HDTV video resolution in the basic configuration, Plextor said.
The receiver also converts recorded TV into MPEG-2 files in real-time and stores them on the user’s hard drive. Once there, they can be easily burned directly onto a DVD, according to Michael Arbisi, vice president of channel sales for Plextor.
The receiver will ship in April with an MSRP of $99.00. Wife permitting, I’m sold.
