pinnacle pctv hd pro stick review

This is very goooood hardware i bought it and its very good funtiion..

The Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick may seem familiar to PVR junkies. The USB TV tuner bears an almost identical body to that of the Hauppauge Win-HVR-950 and the Elgato EyeTV Hybrid, with a few minor changes in ventilation holes and the addition of a dome shaped IR receiver on the topside for the bundled remote control.

The other other MediaCenter
Going through the PMC setup process is an easy feat, although time consuming due to the number of automatic updates to be downloaded. After Pinnacle MediaCenter has been installed and patched, it will walk you through the process of auto-scanning the available channels, then downloading the associated program guide info.

Once everything's setup, you're greeted with the main window, easy to use if not a little Spartan. At the top there's buttons for switching to TV, internet radio, playback of files and CD/DVDs, and opening up the program guide and scheduler. At the bottom are buttons for changing the channel and volume, as well as standard timeshifting controls. In case you're new to time shifting, this means you can pause, rewind, and fast-forward live television, as well as skip commercials in 30 second intervals as well as do instant replays 10 seconds back.
