Thanks.

I'm going to read a few reviews on it. From first glance, it looks like
this may be exactly what I'm looking for.

Price (~$250) is well within reason as well. From first glance at the
specs, it appears to integrate nicely with a PC (laptop), but didn't see how
it integrates with an HDTV. (No mention of composite, DVI, or HDMI
outputs.) I would like to be able to use it with a laptop while traveling
and also at home as an ATSC tuner for an HDTV.

Going to read some reviews. I'm sure these animals will become more
available over the next year or so.

Thanks again..
