Compro VideoMate U880 TV Stick

Juniper Foo | Jun 15, 2005

Wanna watch TV on your laptop? Seems Compro has granted this particular wish for those who do. Claiming to be the world's smallest USB 2.0 analog TV Box, its VideoMate U880 could easily be mistaken for a USB thumbdrive. What it is really is a full-featured TV card packed into a wallet-friendly "stick", which even draws on USB bus power so no external mains are required. Naturally, there are some tradeoffs such as fewer audio and video input/output features. But if reception quality comes through, who's complaining?
