| | Watching TV on HP laptop using Vista Hey, here in the the US, the US is switching over to HD broadcast. If you're not on cable, then you have to have this converter box for a HD broadcast. Is there anything for computers like laptops to get HD when HD is being broadcast? |

| | RE: Watching TV on HP laptop using Vista Just a little FYI: The switch will be from "analog" to "digital" which is not HD. The converter boxes will convert the digital signal back to analog for older systems. The Govt is giving out coupons for $40-off. Goto www.dtv.gov for more info. There are HD broadcasts over DTV.
