Yeah, the title pretty much says it all. Using the search hasnt really helped but yeah .... It is possible/difficult to plug in a USB digital/HD tv Tuner into the pandora and watch Digital TV on the pandora ? Particularly in Australia, which is where im from ... Does the Pandora have the horsepower for 720P broadcast video, or even just standard-widescreen broadcasts ?

Also while im on it, how about 720p Video playback (not optimistic about 1080P video) ? Is it smooth/possible ?
 
It's not the answer to your questions, just another suggestion. It might be possible to use Hava and/or Slingbox on Pandora. It worked on N8x0, afaik.

720p video has been shown to play on the beagleboard, so it's definitely possible on the pandora. However, for getting television signal, it's sort of useless because the pandora has no way of outputting in hd, unless the station you are tuning into is only offered in HD. 480p should work, assuming that there are linux drivers for the device.
