Cheers for the reply homerjay, I often think I am mad,too !!
Yeah, space is limited on a bus, plus the fact I only have battery power, kept topped up by wind and sun, means the use of a bulky and leccy-hungry TV is not ideal - the laptop is far less juicy in that respect...
Anyway, back to the point... I already have a SS2 USB card, also a Hauppauge Terrestrial Digital USB card, and a Thompson S*y Digibox which at the moment I use with the TV cos the Hauppauge WinTV 2000 USB Tuner card I have is Cr*p!!!
I am looking to put the S*y digibox output through a TV tuner card and into the laptop, but I don't know of any decent ones that give a good picture on fullscreen.
Hope you've got all that.... it's a bit of a "techno-bus", and the laptop is all I require for viewing requirements... ( I am also waiting for a friend in the village near where I am to put up a WIFI aerial so I can get Broadband internet
access with my laptop as well !!!)
