Geez, I hope not! I just bought one of these for my laptop and it makes
a picture that's better than the $5K TVs at CC!

HDTV can't tolerate movement, though. It locks up as soon as you start
moving the car, even right under the million watt towers. Multipath
interference that used to make the ghosts on UHF-TV now just make it
LOCK.

Sitting in a restaurant watching the football game on CBS in High
Definition, this guy in a Comcrap Cable shirt came up to me and asked me
where I was getting the signal from. "I'm stealing it from the Comcrap
cable on that pole.", I told him, proudly. After he got through stomping
around, I said, "Listen, jerk, TV is STILL free on-the-air, whether
Comcrap likes it or not. Buzz off!" The guys at Waffle House sure
appreciate me bringing the ball game into their workplace...

The stick just EATS a laptop battery in 40 minutes. The stick runs off
USB power and gets almost too hot to touch. The laptop is so busy
processing the massive amount of data pouring into its USB port at
480Mbps, you can't do anything else while it's processing HDTV and the
cooling fan comes on constantly at high speed as long as the battery
lasts....(c;

The picture off the Philips UHF panel antenna I put up 20' above the roof
over the computer shack has a MUCH better HDTV picture than what the
cable TV people are delivering. Here, I get 8 channels of analog TV and
10 channels of ATSC digital TV...for FREE!

Is the TV phone off the air or through the cellphone system for $$$$?
How can you stand to watch anything on that tiny screen that's hard to
read the time off of??
