The Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick is watching TV on your computer by just plugging in a USB stick.
Watch HDTV on your computer with the provided antenna and you are all set to watch TV using your notebook computer.
Here is a short review.
John Corliss says:
Other than this:
“On a notebook, I would recommend you have relatively fast system; otherwise, you may experience hesitation and stutters while watching TV.”
it looks like a really neat device.

I have one of these and can add two observations - not ready for Vista even though they have many drivers and patches. And hard to use in San Francisco. But those moments when the picture comes in are great, just not reliable. Sigh.

John says:
Why would it be difficult to use in San Francisco? I would think you would have a number of available HD stations to choose from. (??)

I have owned one for about 3 months. It gets very HOT and has very poor quality and relibility. I will return it for a fix as soon as I can. I would not purchase it if I knew the truth about it before hand..

I have had trouble because I am in a tall building downtown with some clear views of the sky but I guess not enough to get a consistent signal. I ended up moving the antenna so much from channel to channel that it became crazy.
