DTV Tuner Fits in USB Stick

DigiTimes.com carried an article by Vyacheslav Sobolev, CeBIT: TV tuner in a 
USB Stick from Compro, describing the VideoMate DVB-T Stick, a complete USB 
2.0 based DTV receiver for the European DVB-T format. According to the 
article, Compro Technology plans to begin shipment of the tuner and two 
analog-only USB 2.0 TV tuners in July.

The one company I found making USB ATSC HDTV tuners, Sasem, appears to have 
stopped production of the unit. The Web site www.usbhdtv.com that used to 
have information on the product now only shows a picture of it with a "This 
Web site is currently under construction" note. A Web site that used to 
offer the Sasem USB tuner, www.copperbox.com now lists it as "obsolete." 
Copperbox indicated DViCO FusionHDTV may soon offer an ATSC version of its 
DVB-T USB receiver, but so far there is no mention of it on either Web site. 
ATI Technologies released new USB analog tuners last year, but people 
waiting for a USB ATSC tuner have been disappointed.
