Las Vegas (NV) - Ok so this isn’t anything new, but we hadn’t yet seen the ATi TV Wonder 600 in action until last night. The small USB stick pulls over the air HDTV and regular television signals from any coaxial antenna. So you can easy hook it up to a desktop, without having to open up the case, or you can watch high definition television on your laptop while sipping a coffee inside of Starbucks.

This product actually came out late last year and it has been selling like gangbusters, according to company reps. At the ShowStoppers night show at CES, AMD was streaming one of the bowl games to a fairly normal laptop. Perhaps more interesting was that we were pulling the signal from the included telescoping antenna from deep inside of the Wynn casino. Of course you can use any antenna you wish just as long as it has a coaxial connection.

The ATi TV wonder 600 retails for around $100 and comes with a remote control, USB cable, telescoping antenna, composite/S-Video connector and of course the actual unit itself. ATi viewing and PVR software is also included.
