Bring digital and analog TV with full DVR functionality to your PC.

Bring digital and analog TV with full DVR functionality to your PC! Introducing Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick, your key to free high quality digital programming on your computer. The USB 2.0 powered tuner and mini-remote are so small that you could actually put them in your coat pocket, but with their good looks you won't want to hide them. No longer must you modify your schedule to enjoy your favorite TV shows. Now, you can pause, TimeShift and even automatically record all of your favorite shows in HD and SD with no service fees.

Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro 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 Pro Stick also supports analog NTSC signals from most any analog video source (cable, satellite and consumer devices like DVD and VHS players).

The PCTV HD Pro Stick includes a USB 2.0 powered TV tuner with integrated infrared (IR) receiver and a Pinnacle MediaCenter IR mini-remote control. This diminutive combination allows one to take control of all of your TV choices from a distance in comfort. Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick also includes features like direct-to-DVD recording and full support for taking your favorite TV shows on the go with mobile devices through direct recording to the Sony PSP, Apple iPod and DivX formats. If you have a Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition (MCE) equipped laptop or PC, don't worry, the Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick provides full support for the MCE environment. If needed, an MCE upgrade kit including a Microsoft compatible MCE remote, IR receiver and IR blaster is available separately. 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 Program Guide (EPG). 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 Pro 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 MCE owners who did not purchase a TV tuner with their systems.
