Akihabara News has an item about a USB TV tuner that allows you to watch TV over the Net from any computer through your Skype account. Apparently you install the USB TV tuner on your home PC along with special software. Then, you use your Skype account to remotely access your TV tuner and stream its content through Skype, making it a kind of low rent Slingbox. The device goes on sale in Japan this month and will retail for US$86.
