Re: Pinnacle PCTV HD Stick for sale

I have been having a problem with mine not loading properly. I downloaded
their newest beta program (4.9.2) and it now works great. The picture is
greatly enhanced and it equals my 1080i set. The colors are perfect on my
computer. I'm impressed. On their Forum many are un-happy saying Pinnacle
isn't helping. They are just too lazy to download their fix.

Size of a memory stick it contains ATSC and NTSC tuners.
One side connects to an antenna, the other to an USB port
on your PC. Software allows viewing and scheduled
recording of OTA digital and analog TV transmissions.
Unit is 3 month old in perfect condition. I no longer
need it. If interested contact me directly
(rlewart@xxxxxxxxxxxx).

How did it work?

Got one and *it* seems to get ATSC stations (44 of them in my area with
roof
antenna).

The software is problematic. Slow, install problems and a picture that
changes
color to a Red cast sometime later after install (works nice for a few
days).
This is NOT a display issue as disk media displays in normal shades.

HD requires a recent Pentium grade (2.4 or better)., and proves it running
on
a 1.9 AMD Athelon.

The device is NOT compatible with Linux or Nero (Windows ) Showtime.
