FEATURES- PCTV HD Ultimate Stick
Enjoy live HD or SD TV on your PC anytime and anywhere!
Watch and record SD and HDTV on any PC using the Pinnacle PCTV HD
Ultimate Stick, featuring a unique PVR application that runs from
the stick's on-board flash memory. Plug it into any PC and start
watching and recording in seconds -- no software installation
required.
This includes pausing and automatically recording all of your
favorite shows in the familiar and friendly MCE environment. All of
this, and there is absolutely no new software to learn. The PCTV HD
Ultimate Stick is a must have for anyone that wants to get a taste
of HD quality content for a fraction of the price of an HD TV set.
It is also an attractive solution for the majority of Windows
Vista/XP MCE owners who did not purchase a TV tuner with their
systems.
Pinnacle PCTV HD Ultimate Stick is an ultra-compact USB 2.0 powered
TV tuner in an attractive stick form factor that brings the
brilliant sharpness of HDTV via ATSC to your PC. ATSC, the new
digital TV standard, comes over-the-air and for free in high or
standard definition, and there are absolutely no required
subscription fees. In addition to ATSC, standard analog TV (NTSC)
can be received via cable or antenna. The included Pinnacle
TVCenter Pro software lets you not only watch TV, but also record
it. You can even pause, rewind or fast forward your favorite TV
shows. Good looks, great features and minimum size, will make the
PCTV HD Ultimate Stick a must have wherever you are. The sleek
USB 2.0 device is so compact that you can really take it wherever
you go with your laptop and always have high quality HD TV with
you.
Pinnacle PCTV HD Ultimate Stick provides everything you need to turn
your PC into a digital TV with fully functional DVR. You can
actually view and record true over-the-air HD content for free. All
of this power is available in an elegantly designed form factor
with a size similar to a standard USB flash memory stick. The fun
does not end here, as the PCTV HD Ultimate Stick also supports
analog TV. The PCTV HD Ultimate Stick includes a USB 2.0 powered TV
tuner and a mini antenna.
If you have a Windows Media Center equipped laptop or PC (Windows
Vista Home Premium/Ultimate or Windows XP MCE), don't worry, the
Pinnacle PCTV HD Ultimate Stick is fully compatible with Windows
Media Center. This qualified combination provides everything from
watching live TV to all of the great features of a fully functional
digital video recorder (DVR) with free integrated Electronic
