I was looking at getting one of them sometime. I am in halls at Uni so I can use it with my PC in my room, and the TV in our kitchen also.

Think it's £140.

Wonder if it's USB2?

ED: Nope just looked it's only 1.1, shame.

Yeah, I noticed that it's only USB 1.1, so I wonder if that is enough bandwith to feed a proper signal to the PC ?

What is the bandwidth of digital TV ? - considering that DVDs are 3-5 MB/sec, the 1.5MB/s on USB 1.1 might be enough ?

DVB can have the same max data rate of 10Mbit/s as DVD which I guess may be too high for streaming through USB1.1
Must use some other type transfer method.

I know USB 2 is 480Mbit/s (60Mbyte/s)

Cool. Give us an idea of what it can do when you get it.
