MaxLinear and Hauppauge Digital have announced they’re teaming up today to create the very first TV tuner card meant entirely for the UMPC and netbook market. This may very well be a match made in tuner card heaven.
Components will be based on the MxL5007T CMOS silicon tuner from MaxLinear, which is capable of receiving HD video ATSC signals over the air. It can also pick up European standard formats including DVB-H, DMB-T, DVB-T and QAM.
This new card supposedly uses only half the energy of other tuner cards out there.

“The only other TV tuner available in netbook right now is offered by Dell in their Inspiron Mini 10.”
Very wrong! The MSI Wind U123 also has a TV tuner.
