Compro is offering viewers a choice of watching TV on your computer (desktop and laptop) with the VideoMate U890. This USB TV Box comes with a silicon tuner that enables one to keep abreast with analog TV viewing and recording – all you need to do is plug it into any available USB port and you’re good to go. The ComproDTV software enables you to watch TV in a window or full screen and also throws in some interesting features such as time shift, frame capture, and Picture-in-Picture for couples who want to watch different shows simultaneously.
