After 10 months on the road, trying to watch TV on my laptop using my aircard (AT&T) once in a blue moon when I have a strong-enough 3G signal that it actually works, I finally broke down this week and ordered a Diamond ATSC HDTV usb tuner for my laptop. I go back out tomorrow for a couple of weeks and will try to remember to give a report on how well it works for me.
I had to get a Cardbus USB2 adapter since my Dell Inspiron is an older model that only has USB1.1 onboard, so that increased the price a little. Even so, the tuner (approximately thumbdrive form factor) plus adapter only ran about $100, and I don't have to carry yet another appliance in the truck.
