    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?

    Since your laptop has an analog SD NTSC coax antenna connector a converter
    box all of which OTA digital channels both SD and HD to SD NTSC coax will
    work with your laptop.

    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.
