Hi, I'm buying a second hand laptop which may only have USB 1.1 ports on it, and I'm intending to use a Hauppauge Digital TV Receiver stick with it which is using USB 2.0.
Technically USB1.1 and 2.0 are compatible with each other. A bottleneck may arise if the TV stick requires a higher transfer rate than the 12 Mbits/s 1.1 provides.
Will defo need USB 2.0 to transfer the data it will be transferring, USB 1.1 not nearly fast enough at what 12 mb/s? I'd say a tv stick would use closer to the 480mb/s to be honest.
