Hauppage launches low-cost TV dongle


Hauppauge has introduced a low-cost TV tuner USB 'stick' for laptop and PC users. The £49.99 WinTV Nova-t Stick comes with a high-performance portable aerial and high-gain silicon tuner technology for improved Freeview reception.The supplied software scans for up to 40 Freeview TV digital channels, which can then be watched in full-screen or resizable windows or recorded for later viewing. Digital radio is also supported.

It is high-definition TV (HDTV)-compliant so users will be able to view the current trials the BBC is running on Freeview to see what all the fuss is about.You could have the Stick plugged into your desktop PC at home, then simply unplug it and take it with you and your laptop.
