Smallest USB Tuner from AVer Media
AVerMedia announced what it claims to be the smallest USB TV tuner ever. The tuner supports digital TV and can run on Windows Media Center Edition, Linux (some distributions, at least), and is tested to run on the upcoming Windows Vista. The manufacturer says this tuner is ideal for use on a notebook computer, as it only draws 2 Watts of power–hence saving on battery consumption.
The new DVB-T Volar weighs a mere 17.5g and measures in at 7 x 2.5 x 1.1cm making it ideal to slip in your pocket and out of sight when you boss heads your way.
We however don’t exactly think it’s great to bank on a gadget’s being the smallest, particularly since it’s USB. It’s deigned either to just sit there plugged in all the time (for desktop computers), or slipped into the bag (for laptops). No bid deal, really, but perhaps useful, indeed, for people who have to hide the fact they’re watching TV (while at work, perhaps!).
