Here is something I always wandered about. Why has Apple never put a tv tuner in their laptops? To me this would be so awesome. They have an antenna in the ibooks and powerbooks for wireless. Is there something I missed because this would be among the first watching televison while you are say waiting for that plane at the airport terminal or whatnot. I am not talking about attaching some peripheral but to actually be built into the laptop.

Again, I am suprised this has not come about. Especially since Apple strives to be the leader in innovation.

Probably because you'd need the antennas sticking out the laptop. My guess is that they would never be able to put them where the AirPort or BT antennas are because

1) they wouldn't fit
2) they wouldn't be directional, so you'd need to move the laptop around to get good reception
3) there would be interference issues from the internals of the laptop.

Why? Analog TV is as dead as OS 9.
