I have a toshiba R15.
I would like to watch TV on my tablet while it is docked at my desk.

Is the best method to use a PCMCIA card and just connect the aerial? If so does it need seperate software or does the card come with good software.Is that the best way to do it? IF so any suggestions for make.

Would a software alternative be installing vista with media centre although that would be very expensive just for software i guess?

thanks

The two best methods are PC Card, like you say, or USB. USB is probably cheaper though. Check out products from Hauppage (http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/prods_usb.html), Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesys.com/) or Dvico (http://www.dvico.com/default.asp) and see what's available. Remember that you'll need to make sure you match your preferred viewing (analogue, digital, cable etc).

And Google is your friend...

That is exactly what I am looking for. I didnt realise there were USB products that were so easy to install. Thanks so much for taking the time to post the info. Much appreciated.
