Default Want to Watch Some HDTV on Your Asus Eee?

http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archive...e-tv-tuner.html

"Asus Eee owners now have access to a USB HDTV Tuner from Asus, with Linux drivers! It’s a requirement as the majority of Eee users run the pre-installed linux. The catch is: the My Cinema U3100 Mini tuner supports DVB-T & DMB-TH, two TV broadcast standards unsupported in the USA. At the moment, it has been reported that H.264 decoding is missing, which is a real problem with HDTV broadcasting... and that recording isn’t possible, which is probably OK, given the 2GB or 4GB of storage that the computer has. Finally, note that the Eee 7” display is not really “HD” anyways."



I about jumped out of my chair in excitement when I first saw this.  Then I realized it would do me no good in the US.  Still you've got to like the fact the Asus is supporting the Eee in this way.
