  • could i use a component cable for this?

  • Does anyone know if this device can be used to record ps3 gameplay? If you do please respond to this comment or pm me ASAP!

  • @RYNOHORN18 NO OFCOURS NOT?!!!!!

  • Great spokesman, told me everything I needed to know

  • Free Energy is real and its here! The Oil companies r doing everything they can to stop this

    information. If you want a Free energy magnet motor , get the blueprints at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM , Join the

    revolution!

  • can i capture my tv (record it) with this

  • ummm. . . the product isn't meant for gaming. it converts hd signal. running any signal through that device will create not only lag, but possible some improper color diffusion.

    It's meant for tv signals from cable or antenna. And for that, they work well enough. Is it overpriced? Iunno, I didn't get mine from TigerDirect. I bought it on a whim when circuit city was going out of business. But it does the job, and I've used it often enough to get my money's worth.

  • if you want to record video gameing then get a Hauppauge; if u want crap quality get a dazzle. This product sucks from my experience of it

  • This is a fake Billy Mays LOL

  • Buyer beware with Pinnacle products

  • Keep the magnet away from your laptop or it can destroy your hard drive.

  • Billy Mays lives on

  • this shit suck balls this product is garbage

  • I agree, it died on me within firsst 2 days

  • waaaaaaaaayyy overfuckingpriced

  • Disculpen pero yo perdi el serial de mi PCTV, es identico como el del vieo, alguien podria enviarmelo o escribirlo por favor.

  • borriiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggg­ggggg !!!

  • i have the 340e hybrid stick pro

    and the only thing i see on windows media center and pinaacle tc center is a blue screen,can u help me please?

  • omg 100 dollars can get em 30 quid

  • i have one that i used to use to record gameplay

  • How do you set it up please help im looking to get one to record ps3 gameplay

  • i wanna too

  • This will NOT accept a composite or component (baseband) signal. It will only accept an RF (broadband) signal input therefore it will NOT allow you to record your gameplay from PS3 or XBOX unless you use an RF modulator and tune this device to channel 3 or 4. If you would like to record HD from the component outputs then your ONLY option is a Hauppauge HD PVR. This is the ONLY product on the market that will capture 1080i and 720p component outputs and it cost $200-300.

  • This thing works very well if you have media center, the pinnacle software is crap and takes up a lot of system resources.

  • this dude is full of shit.

  • OMG he acts like Vista is not the worst version that microsoft ever came up with...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

  • Can I plug in my AT&T U-Verse coaxial cable into this and watch it on my computer? Or is it not compatible with U-Verse yet?

  • whats the dif between a notebook and laptop cause i dont know hich to get

    whatever i get i will get this devise

  • Can you use this to record gameplay from 360/ps3/wii? If so, how? Please i really need to know.

  • yea

  • Yeah, but for capturing a game device, I reccomend the Pinnicle Dazzle that was made for that.

  • I thought this one can record in higher quality. The Dazzle can only record in 480i. But using this PCTV stick the recording of wii or other console gameplay will look crappy or not? I don't know to buy :(

  • Yeah i want to use this to make youtube videos on my xbox 360! Can I?

  • You could feed an analog signal into the stick and record your gaming sessions, but I would recommend you check out the Pinnacle Video Transfer...this is a great way to record and share your gaming sessions with all of your friends.

  • thats it im buying it!!!!

  • Does this work for game consoles like xbox 360?

  • the computer is the heart in my house:P music, hdtv, games, movies and also internet;)

  • If you can get it cheap, 50 or under, I'd recommend. Just understand the first thing you will want to do is throw away the worthless software it ships with. BeyondTV is great software that works flawlessly with this hardware.

  • WTf, I have mac

  • You are in luck...Pinnacle makes a version for the MAC...it is called TV for Mac® HD mini Stick...It is a Ultra-compact stick provides everything to make your MAC into a digital SD or HD TV.  You can check it out on the Pinnacle Website.

  • macs blow. Stick with bill gates windows :)

  • ya stick with bill gates and fear the worst fuck pc dude you dont know what a computer is obviously

  • I'm a computer programmer. Thanks

    P.S. I can write java and visual basics codes. Soon to be able to write orcale, c++, etc. codes

  • omg a computer programmer that is so cool all is im saying is macs are the way to go and they are the easiest you can go with

  • it works perfect is sik

  • He needs to shave his head..Damn!

  • would you if you were him?

  • The software they send with it is useless.Check the forums connected with this and you'll see how many problems owners had. When trying to use it to capture via Media Center a consistent audio-video lag occurs. I installed a Winfast card on the desktop several years ago,and although not spectacular, it has none of the delays and poor picture that this has.

  • I cant get it to work on vista no matter what i try. it worked ok in xp but the vista drivers are shitty... my hauppage is much better.

  • Can someone make a tutorial for PCTV videos->youtube?

  • wooted.

  • do you need vista for it?

  • finally! i've been looking for something like this that won't break the bank. gonna rush out and get this...after christmas.

    *prays its in stock*

  • I bought mine on woot dot com for about 50 bucks. After installing it in the notebook computer it came back and said that my 1.2gig computer was too slow and needed at least a 1.4gig maching. Oh, well it is HD.

  • thats my computer

    Toshiba A215-S4697

    Greaat Laptop!!!!!

  • kk i will

  • The first thing i would like to say is i really like the device. It's about time but, in the video you say it's less than 100$ and on your site it is 119$. Also when you purchase the card you don't want to just plug it in with out installing the drivers like this guy said. It could lead to problems installing the driver later when you try to use it. Other than that I like the video.

  • thanks lonny! well its time for mobile phone companies to come with tv tuner cards for laptops!

  • any suggestion on upgrades for the antenna. I have the pctv unit , and have tried 3 different antennas but only get interference . Hope to hear from you soon . Thanks

  • You won't her from him because he doesn't own the account, TigerDirect does. So, they won't help you.

  • Oh, but I do! (Not frequently enough!)

    Sorry, don't know about any specific antennas which will act as a replacement - I actually got the same question from another viewer today - and I'm awaiting a response from Pinnacle.

    Thanks and keep watching!

  • Meh.
