Going with your news item, Steve, here's some more on Compaq's involvement with computer digital TV, this time with Matsushita. The paragraph I am quoting is the last, and only relevant paragraph for people interested in CPQ. After citing the news item I pose a question.
>Elsewhere, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co was up 42 yen at 1,975.
>The company and Compaq Computer Corp (NYSE:CPQ - news) said on Monday
>they had launched the first digital television tuner-decorder for
>personal computers.

Title: Tokyo stocks slip, uninspired by econ proposal
Now my question(s): Does anyone know if receiving digital TV through a PC is going to be whole screen or if it is going to enable people to receive programs merely in a small window as well, similar to picture in a picture available on some regular TVs?
Also, does anyone know if the boards being devised are going to be usable no matter how one receives a TV signal, whether off the air (antenna), cable, or satellite?
