Heck, I'd settle for portable if I believed it. Though I rarely use my
lap top since I don't travel that much.
Laptop HD will probably be much nicer once they start using mini laser
projectors for screens.

Thanks, Bob.
In other words, the CES term would not be "mobile" it would be "portable."

Subject: [opendtv] Re: New Mobile HDTV Device Allows Consumers to Receive High-Definition and Digital Cable Broadcasts on Laptops
I just called AutumnWave and asked what they mean by mobile.
Scott, who answered the phone, said that he had never actually tried the unit mobile. Did have it on the seat next to him while driving once and, yes, it did cut in and out regularly. To paraphrase him, " its not like a DVD where you get a continuous video, but you can take it to a camp ground and even at some distance get decent reception. We just had a call from a customer who was amazed that he got reception of a ball game while in a camp ground".
Scott said the owner or CEO of the company had tested it while driving he thought. Mobile is more like moving it from place to place he cautioned. But it will receive the signal while moving just not reliably.
