USB Tuner



So the question came up in the T@B Yahoo Groups forum about options for a TV set up. I recommend using a USB TV tuner attached to a laptop. This gives you the most flexibility and you end up with a TV, DVD player, Radio, and computer all wrapped into one. The configuration I use is a Macbook Pro laptop connected to an EyeTV Hybrid digital tuner. As a test I connected this to a generic rabbit ears antenna to see if I could get digital TV reception. I was able to get 20+ channels, although some came in better than others. The USB tuner can alternatively be hooked up to a regular cable TV connection if you happen to be staying at an RV resort that offers that amenity.
