Sony adds Vaio F TV laptop for video on the go
Sony has added at least one new laptop to the slew of Vaios the company showed off at CES. The Vaio F TV series
will, as the name implies, include features for viewing TV on the computer, including a built-in tuner, 15.4-inch
display, MPEG encoder card, remote control and dual-layer burner. However, it looks like Sony's hoping to have it both
ways with these; the F TV series will come with Windows XP Pro, rather than MCE.

How so how does the British TV licencing laws affect this?
I've been reading up and it appears that devices that run on their own power source do not require a licence.
Well, this runs on its own battery or off mains..
I think they would be too stupid to suspect a laptop of having a built in tuner, i don't know of any other one that does.

I wish I had one :-(. I think the Toshiba Core Duo Qosmio G30 has something similar implemented, it supports HDTV.

Why not MCE?

What is MCE???

Windows Media Center Edition, integrates video recording/playback and etc. I don't have it but I have gotten the impression that you could use a comp with Windows MCE to timeshift (like with a Tivo) but without a montly subscription?

It`s getting more neat! built-in than plug-in receiver hmm... does this mean no more antenna and free to view digital channels elsewhere?
