  1. I am off to France two watch the tour in July and want to hook my laptop up so I can watch the race on the side of the mountain/roadside.

    Does anyone have any recommendations on what product is best for this?

    [font=Verdana]I have come across a - Compro U900[/font][font=Verdana][font=Verdana] USB 2.0 TV Box- will this work over there?[/font][/font]

    I will be buying it in NZ before leaving

    [font=Verdana][font=Verdana][/font][/font]
    [font=Verdana][font=Verdana]Cheers[/font][/font]

  2. The Compro unit is for the PAL/NTSC/SECAM analogue TV system.

    France TV is SECAM and Digital, DVB-T 8mHz spacing, all UHF.

    It may work OK on analogue but I suggest you wait till you get there and buy a more suitable TV dongle locally.

    For information on Digital TV in Australia (and NZ) see: www.dba.org.au Where I have cross posted your question: http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?showtopic=35555

    Cheers. Thanks for the info. I was thinking of buying in France, but would prefer to be set up before I leave, I have plenty of time so I will see how the replys go.

    George,
    I do not wish to join their forum and you cannot post unless you do.

    There are analog and SD channels in France probably all UHF.

    ASUS sell labtops containing analog and digital tuners built in. Model WV2 for example. Regardless of what you get consider a wideband UHF antenna
