TV tuner for your netbook

A partnership between the semiconductor company MaxLinear and Hauppauge Digital, a nice little TV tuner for laptops and Netbook. The MxL5007T can pick up over the air HD (ATSC-TV) signals.

The device also works with European and other standards such as DVB-T, DVB-H, DTMB, and unencrypted QAM HD cable video channels. This is a competitive Netbook on the other tuner, a who have been recently in the news for the Dell Inspiron Mini 10.
