I was looking to connect my H20 to my computer... I've not found much information on this so anything would help. I see it has a USB port but I would assume I would need a driver... Again any information would help. It's a laptop so the ports are limited USB would be the "best" for me.

Thanks,

dw

You can't attach the H20 to a PC. You can connect external hard drives to HRx's but use at you own risk. LINK

I had my H20 hooked up to my samsung 206BW monitor (720p capable) using HDMI to DVI cable. Kind of a poor man's HD experience but it pic was gorgeous, especially with the 20" widescreen about 3 feet from your face on your puter' desk.

I know it doesn't solve your laptop usb problem but if your goal was to watch tv and surf the web at the same time, picking up a widescrren lcd monitor on sale may be a way to go.
