For the price you simply can't beat getting this tuner for your PC. You will get token choppy performance until you download the new drivers (takes 2 minutes to download).Pros+ Easy to install+ Easy to use+ AffordableCons- You need to download the new drivers in order to get maximum performance- Minor bugs here and there even with new drivers. This USB HD-tuner works great. The picture quality is fantastic and it was very easy to install.
Well that got my attention. Plus, this software captures my daily HD broadcast and does it even while the program is closed. "Pinnacle is the standard in the NFL" they said. Imagine an HD plug in play/record mini stick that captures full HD programming off antenna or cable and plugs directly into your USB port. On a recent visit to Atlanta Falcon's Training camps, I met the technical crew from their video department.
(Thank you for fair pricing Pinnacle because times are tight). And oh yeah, the price--AMAZINGLY AFFORDABLE. YES. Yes, I can pause, rewind live television and all without a monthly subscription service fee. Both work in unison to provide effortless video editing and handled our HD shows perfectly. I was completely set up in less than 5 minutes.Another wonderful feature of the Pinnacle PCTV HD Mini Stick: I am time shifting directly from my computer all my favorite television shows. I ordered the Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 12 software and Pinnacle PCTV HD Mini Stick. BRILLIANT.).
They suggested I switch to Pinnacle. (which means I don't have to have the program running to record television.I schedule a daily recording and the Pinnacle PCTV HD Mini Stick automatically records my shows and stores them in my designated hard drive for later viewing or editing. Pinnacle, why didn't I discover you sooner. I came home and started researching Pinnacle and decided to give it a try. The Pinnacle PCTV HD Mini Stick was another dream come true.
I would give it 4.5 out of 5 due to rare software issues.Hauppauge 1191 WinTV-HVR-950Q TV Tuner Stick/Personal Video Recorder with Clear QAM and Remote Control (Black) I have pleasant experience with this unit, see my review in Hauppauge 950Q product page.
I returned the stick for a refund. Did not work with the software shipped with the stick. After I downloaded new software it worked poorly for six days then died.
