Does anyone use a USB HDTV Tuner?

I was thinking about getting one for my Dell Mini. It would be great to watch TV on-the-go no matter where I was.

Don't go with one from KWorld, ive had a few KWorld peripherals and they have been nothing like trouble. From outdated drivers to none being available from them and having to track down some from another manufacturer as its just rebranded.

I've tried using them and they are a pain. They work...some of the time. But are unreliable.

I got one for my laptop and use it all the time! Mainly at home, but it's really good! My old TV, is only analogue, so i couldn't get the HD channels, now i can with my tuner card Smile.
