[Novalug] HDTV for 59$ (linux supported)

[gregory pryzby]

Under Ubuntu it just friggin works. SOOOOOO COOOOOOL.

Now to get it running under SUSE on the laptop, for a portable HDTV
device ;)

1) Has antenna
2) But requires usb 2.0

In my basement on North exposed wall (underground from south side) I
get 20 channels (including the sub channels). 

There are some artifacts and a pink band (veritcal on right side) that
I need to look into, but I think an external antenna would be very
nice.
