I've got one and use it often when I travel. It's great for keeping up with things like the Daily Show, local news, etc. Picture quality isn't fabulous, but it's certainly good enough. I most recently used it on our trip to South America -- my wife appreciated being able to watch the Colbert Report after we were in for the evening. However, for "must see" shows (for me, The Amazing Race), I transferred the show from my Tivo to my main computer (using VPN and VNC), then ftp'd it to my laptop, converted it to mpeg2 and watched it in its full-resolution, hi-fi stereo glory.
