iWatchTV component box

There are a whole host of options if you want to watch TV on your computer. There are tuner cards and USB dongles galore. The latest option, the iWatchTV box takes a different, less geeky approach and assumes you just want to watch TV with the minimum amount of wasted time and hassle (as opposed to wanting to record stuff to your hard drive and the like). In pursuit of this it offers itself up as a hub for all your entertainment devices. You can plug in PAL, NTSC and SECAM video signals as well as s-video, composite video and Y, Pb,
Pr and D1 inputs andyour regular monitor-out from your PC. All this goes into a single monitor plug which delivers the signal to your screen in HDTV quality at a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024. This lets you watch whatever you want without having to bother turning your computer on, install any software or even do anything really since it auto-detects PAL and NTSC. It's also got a picture-in-picture function and a remote control (with all those devices to toggle it better). No word on price, but all that can't come too
cheap.
