Daily deal - Sabrent pocket USB HDTV tuner

My deal for today is for the Sabrent pocket USB HDTV tuner. This tiny USB key contains a full HD tuner, and allows your laptop (or desktop) to pick up the signal from any local TV station, (analogue or digital). The digital signal compatibility ensures your device will still work after the big switch being made in February of next year.

With this device, you'll be able to plug in the included mini antenna, and watch TV on your computer. Software is included for recording TV shows, and there is support for an electronic TV guide. If you have ever been stuck in a hotel with a 20" wood grain TV, and nothing more than 4 channels of local farming information, then this device might be able to keep you entertained for a while.

The Sabrent pocket USB HDTV tuner is on sale for just $39.99, shipping is about $7 and tax is collected in IL, FL, TX and NC.

The package contains the USB tuner, a mini HD capable antenna and a credit-card size remote control. The included software works on Windows XP and Vista, sorry; no Mac support.
