I anyone  is using an external (PCMCIA slot or USB) tuner for their laptop
when  traveling, I'd like opinions and comments, pro and con, on your
experience  with specific makes and models.  I'm getting ready to add such  a
device to my new laptop and the variety of units on the market is  confusing=

Loren, I'm using a _Hauppage USB TV tuner_ (http://www.hauppauge.com/)  with
my  laptop  Works like a charm.  Mounted a _Boomerang_
(http://www.wintenna.com/boomerangs.htm)  antenna on the roof  with a magnet mount and ran the cable
down through the pop-top using a surface  mount connector so the Boomerang can
be easily removed if need be.
