| Humax unveils HD-ready 40 inch LCD TV
Humax today unveil their 'sleek and contemporary' 40 inch LCD high definition TV which also boasts a built-in 160GB hard drive and twin tuners, giving you full PVR functionality. The LP40-TDR1 has all the usual functions of a PVR, so I won't bore you with them. The set features Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, 3 AV inputs, 1 component, 1 S-Video, 1 PC, 1 Composite and 2 RGB Scarts, plus just a single HDMI input. It's HD ready. Not much more information is available at present, though it wouldn't surprise me if it has similar features to the LGB-40TPVR released last year, but with a much improved hard drive capacity (product page) What we do know is that it will retail for around £1,199.

Review: Autumnwave OnAir GT USB HDTV Tuner
Don't let its size fool you. Just plugging this sleek, miniscule tuner into your laptop's USB port can transform your humdrum mobile rig into an HDTV-pilfering powerhouse. The GT works by pulling HDTV signals out of the air and playing them back in their full resolution glory. The cost of free isn't cheap though—the GT receives crystal clear HDTV signal in large cities, but gets sketchy out in the boondocks. A flimsy remote and clunky software are also disappointing given the GT's otherwise superstar performance. Although it wouldn't replace a traditional HDTV setup at home, this inexpensive tuner is an awesome addition to your travel arsenal. – Terrence Russell WIRED Lightweight. USB power makes unit truly mobile. Receives old-school analog and unencrypted cable signals. Offers both timeshifting and live pause.

Rumors said executives from Sony have had discussions with FHP about related issues, but the company has yet to finalize any decision since executives within the company have not reached a consensus. fhp fujitsu hitachi plasma Samsung Sony .
