Default TV Tuner - External for WinXP

Steve is correct. It has a wall wart for 120VAC. We bought ours at Tweeters
for
a good discount since it was a display model and the packaging had been lost
including
the remote and cables. They ordered all the missing items and
gave us a discount of $350. I suspect they are alot cheaper now though. The
model we have is LC-10A23U-B. Draws a whopping 2A.

Thanks Doug. Can you suggest a discount source for that TV? Does it have
option to run on 120vac too?

We have a Sharp 12V 10.5 LCD TV in our V-Berth. Works great! Has a

remote,
also
you can mount it upsidedown and can program it to invert the image.

Cable
ready and
we also have it connected to our DVD via direct video inputs.

Thanks Al. I was afraid there might be such problems.

Another thing that could work for me, on the boat of course, is
12vdc/120vac
small-LCD-screen flat panel TV, cable ready. I've seen ads for one

or
two,
but know nothing about them. If you or someone else can commnet pro

or
con,
would appreciate it.

Thanks.

I tried the ATI TV Wonder(plugs into USB) with my HP notebook with

XP
and couldn't get it to run right, kept crashing, so I took it

back.
I
have also been casually looking, but haven't seen anything XP
certified yet.

Can anyone recommend a USB connected external TV Tuner, cable

ready,
with
remote control for use with WinXP notebook PC?

Or not recommend, if there's one to steer clear of.

Thanks.
