    Hey guys, I'm currently looking at the DM2820 USB 2.0 VGA.
    Here is a link to it:

    I'm not much of a computer boffin so I came here for help. :D
    What I wanted to know is will it be as simple as buying that and installing it or will I have to buy other parts to be able to watch television and play my PS2 on my laptop?
    Two other things where, is it the basic four channels or is it freeview?
    And how do I find out my USB number as it says on the site it is not suggested for a USB 1.1 computer, I have a laptop and was wondering where I will find this number.
    Cheers for the help guys, Kris. :cool:

    It doesn't say whether it's Freeview or not does it? I really wouldn't like to say!

    If your computer was manufacturered in the last 3 years, it will probably have USB2.0 ports. But don't worry if your laptop is older; I've run a Hauppauge TV card through USB 1.1 and it works fine.
