The new Miglia TVMini HD Express should have been a dongle to begin with. The bus-powered USB TV tuner encased in an aluminum chassis can't receive analog signal nor encode content into H.264 onboard so it's difficult to imagine why the designer couldn't manage to make this a thumbdrive-sized TV stick. Comparing with EyeTV external tuners, the $99 TVMini HD Express ships with home-grown PVR software called The Tube. The most notable features are the ability to upload the recorded shows to a .Mac or FTP server for viewing on the go; and to join a chat with other watchers of the same show, provided that you have an Equinux ID. Last but not least is iTunes integration that basically prepares the shows ready for iPod transfer. Elgato EyeTV 250 Plus - ATSC HDTV receiver / analog TV tuner / video input adapter - Hi-Speed USB
