DVR Adaptor in Your Pocket?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "HARDWARE" @ 02:00 PM
"MSI, a Taiwanese electronics manufacture, has started selling a slick, new USB 2.0 TV Tuner adapter the size of a deck of cards for less than $80. The Vox USB 2.0 TV Box appears to have all the power of its larger sized competitors and comes bundled with a re-skinned InterVideo WinDVR called MSI PVS, TV@nywhere for TV program browsing/scheduling, and InterVideo WinDVD for taking the content you've recorded and burning onto VCD, SVCD, mini-DVD & DVD."
I'm not sure how important it is to have a TV tuner that you can carry in your pocket, but hey, you never know when it might come in handy. What would make these even more useful would be to allow it to install software off a Flash ROM chip. That way you could take it to any computer, connect it, install the drivers and software needed for PVR functionality, then when you disconnect it the software would uninstall. :way to go:
