    Looks like I might get a laptop soon and I need a TV tuner card for it. I already have a PCI Hauppauge WinTV card (bt878 chipset) in this desktop and I think it's great. I looked at Hauppauge and they have a USB 1.1 version with mono audio. I'm looking for an excellent USB or Firewire TV tuner that has stereo audio. Anyone have an ideas?

    Update: I looked at the capture card list and limited to TV Tuning capability and selected USB 1/1.1 and none of the cards looked particularly good according to the reviews. People complain that it doesn't work at all, video is delayed, frames are dropped and more. Should I just step up to USB 2.0 because 1/1.1 might not have the bandwidth to handle a TV signal?
