HDTV for T43 ?

#1 Post by danny_isr » Sun Aug 28, 2005 10:51 am

I’m looking for a USB- TV device to watch TV on my T43.
Do they make one that will receive HDTV ?
If not which one you recommends/use ?

Can I record with those as well like VCR ?

Thanks Danny

HDTV work very very weel on the T4x ThinkPads I had a thread below.

http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.ph ... highlight=

I am using the TinyUSB2 (aka TwinHan Beetle) HDTV via USB 2.0 works much better than in my PC with the Twinhan PCI DVB-T tuner. The ThinkPads DO support DxVA very well.

Checkout this thread about the device.

To get 5.1 / 7.1 from my ThinPad I am going to get the Creative Audigy 2 ZS Notebook.

arion - will that thing work in the US to watch OTA HDTV?


All the info I have seen talks about it working in AU but I think the encoding for US HDTV is different.
