TV

A pretty nice digital TV tuner is the DigitalNow TinyUSB 2 DVB-t Receiver, which is actually a Twinhan USB2.0 DVB-T receiver (TwinhanDTV Alpha/MagicBox II). It was purchased from http://digitalnow.com.au/product_pages/tinyusb2.html.

See Section 100.5 for details of editing any video you might record from TV.

Note that you may sometimes find that the application being used to view the television may not be keeping up with the video stream and at times will display a corrupt image and audio. Saving to file should not require much power, and so the signal is usually okay in that case.
