I have a MacBookPro & use an Elagto EyeTV USB stick for TV. I rarely watch TV, but I have fired it up to see that it works on both OTA and cable sources. If I watched a lot of TV, I'd prefer a separate set.
In any case, since I'm usually in a different campground every night, setting up any HD TV, laptop or actual TV set is a pain since you have to do a channel search each time you move to a new location. Depending on the TV, that can take anywhere from 5-10 minutes to an hour. If you do a lot of traveling & want to watch TV most nights, it would be good to check out the initial scan time for the device you choose. Unfortunately, I've never seen it as a written specification.
