While USB pen drives continue to blow our minds with ever smaller sizes, Hauppauge's latest USB digital TV tuner sure is a jaw-dropper: the self-explanatory PCTV Systems picoStick - launched at
PlayBite today - claims to be the world's smallest DVB-T tuner (read: Europe only) and requires no external antenna, but it does come with one in case you're "stuck in the middle of Wales", as the PR rep put it.
