    USB TV tuner options

    hi
    i'm looking for a TV tuner and FM receiver which i could plug in into the USB port as i've got all the others slots already filled with stuff..
    maybe someone knows a decent device that will work with RoadRunner as well?
    will this work?

    TV tuners typically have less than desirable FM antenna strength. Nothing like your HU.

    HD radio is not sat radio, its free off the air. Its new technology FM/AM radio that sound really nice.

    No its serial interface, you can get a serial>usb converter if you want usb. The tv/radio combos usually lack the reception and features.

    The FCC has said that analogue signal transmission will stop in January 2009 (may have been extended) so why would you want to put all that money into hardware that picks up analogue signals?
