Uncompressed TV Video Over USB 2.0 from ATI

An anonymous reader writes "Ever wanted to watch TV on your notebook computer? Well, you used to be stuck with an external TV tuner that will usually compress the video so much to squeeze it down the USB interface, that it's not worth watching. But the new ATI TV Wonder manages to push uncompressed video down the USB 2.0 interface, producing superb image quality. It also comes with ATI's suite of multimedia applications and utilities. The reviewer reckons it's a great unit, although a little bit on the expensive side."

  3. OT: My own AskSlashdot re: TV by TheHonestTruth · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    Tangentially related: I'd watch TV on my notebook if I didn't have to have the coax feeding into it. I have three cable conenctions in my house, none of which are in my computer room. One however happens to be near my server upstairs. Is there a way to get the signal from my server (running Mandrake) to my machines in my computer room via wireless access? I could theoretically put a tv card in the server and run a TV program (tvtime) on the server upstairs vi a remote X connection to view it, but how do I get the sound to my local speakers?
