I had the opportunity to check out the WinTV-HVR-950 hybrid TV stick from Hauppauge.
Not much bigger than the average USB thumb drive, the WinTV is easy to carry for use with your laptop computer. It even comes with a very lightweight and portable antenna allowing you transform your laptop into a media device capable of watching both analog and digital broadcast television wherever you can find the signal.
The included software allows to watch, record and even schedule recordings of your favorites broadcast or cable TV shows.
I found the device pretty easy to get up and running out right out of the box. But be warned, it has some pretty steep system requirements that simply cannot be skimped on.
Minimum processor recommended:
2.2 GHz Intel® P4 or 1.8 GHz Centrino or equivalent
2.8 GHz Intel® P4 or Core™ Duo or equivalent for analog TV recording with MPEG-2
Microsoft Windows Vista or XP with Service Pack 2.
Graphics with 64 MB of memory (minimum).
USB 2.0 port (will not work with USB 1.1).
Full specs and product details on the WinTV can be found here.

Second in a series of three fundraising episodes. We made the goal, but it was down to the wire.

First episode of the spring fundraiser. We hit our $1800 goal in the first hour. Not too shabby!

Dwight Silverman was out sick. On air conversations ranged from in depth discussion of pirates and ninjas to geek marriage counselling with a late caller.

The on air discussions were varied and interesting. From salvaging computers out of the trash to Twitter and beyond.

On Friday May 2nd we invite you to join the crew of Tech Bytes and many of their fans who will be hanging out at The Petrol Station Coffeehouse for our monthly “geek gathering.”
The Petrol Station is located at 985 Wakefield Dr in Houston, TX. Their phone number is (713) 957-2875. Please click here for a map of the location.
The Petrol Station serves coffee, beer and a simple but tasty sandwich menu. They also have free wi-fi and a large TV we hope to commandeer to watch Battlestar Galactica on. Things get started a little after 7:30 and generally lasts for a few hours.
You don’t have to be a geek to come out. All listeners of the show are welcome!
We hope to see you there!
