Pctv HD Stick USB Hd Atsc Ntsc Clearqam Tuner

This USB HD-tuner works great. The picture quality is fantastic and it was very easy to install. 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.For the price you simply can't beat getting this tuner for your PC.

Just a back up unit....current one is 3 years old..by the time it fails, this one will be obsolete! MY Bad.

Did not work with the software shipped with the stick. After I downloaded new software it worked poorly for six days then died. I returned the stick for a refund.

On a recent visit to Atlanta Falcon's Training camps, I met the technical crew from their video department. They suggested I switch to Pinnacle. "Pinnacle is the standard in the NFL" they said. Well that got my attention! I came home and started researching Pinnacle and decided to give it a try. I ordered the Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 12 software and Pinnacle PCTV HD Mini Stick. Both work in unison to provide effortless video editing and handled our HD shows perfectly! The Pinnacle PCTV HD Mini Stick was another dream come true! 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. YES!! Plus, this software captures my daily HD broadcast and does it even while the program is closed. (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. BRILLIANT!!) 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! Yes, I can pause, rewind live television and all without a monthly subscription service fee!!And oh yeah, the price--AMAZINGLY AFFORDABLE!! (Thank you for fair pricing Pinnacle because times are tight.)_________________Update: July 2013. Still using this product. Still working great! Don't work for Pinnacle (but thanks for thinking I do!) Also posted this review on other websites too as when I find a product I love, I enjoy sharing with as many people as possible. Pinnacle was the "standard" of use in the NFL for The Atlanta Falcon's. Saw all their software at training camp.Pinnacle, why didn't I discover you sooner!!!!

I have pleasant experience with this unit, see my review in Hauppauge 950Q product page. 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)
