ok first off i screwed up in purchasing the wrong tuner.....i wanted to receive my cable tv on my laptop and thought the usb hdtv tuner did both cable and OTA hdtv, but it seems to only do the latter so i went out and bought an antenna

now i can get hdtv reception but it is choppy.....i don't know if it's signal strength, video card, or laptop cpu

i'm thinking the latter since 2.4ghz is recommended but i'm hoping there's a workaround

here's my setup:
HDTV Tuner: VBOX Cats Eye HDTV USB Tuner (3560)
Laptop: ThinkPad T41 Pentium M 1.4Ghz, 1.5 GB Ram
Video Card: ATI Mobility Radeon 7500

also is there a way to feed this hdtv reception to my other regular tvs through say the coax?

I'm in the same boat, trying to get ota HD/analog on my laptop.

Do you mean feed the OTA HDTV from your laptop to other tvs?

^ exactly, feed to other tvs.

Depending on which inputs your TV has, maybe use your VGA/S-video out, OR s-video to rca for video, and headphone jack from your laptop for audio.
Why not use an OTA HDTV antenna for your other TVs?
