Editorial Review: Product Description: PCTV NANO STICK DVB-T 73E BUY 5 GET 1 FREE Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good stick, but some bad points.I've had this stick for around 6 months now. Upon installation on Vista (32 bit), I only installed the driver and not the viewing software. Pinnacle want a subscription for getting program listings every day, when Windows Media Center does this for nothing and I find it really good and easy to use anyway. The stick comes with a useless small ariel connection, for using the included ariel and also an adaptor for using a standard tabletop or roof ariel. This adaptor sticks out a fair bit and is therefore ... Read More Rating:  - Does a good jobPinnacle PCTV DVB-T STICK Nano Bought one of these recently, to go with new Dell laptop. Had some initial problems with the channel scanning but found this was due to a co-axial cabling issue.

The software on the CD installed without problems but it took almost 15 min. However, it seems a bit bloated ... Read More Rating: - Great deviceI bought the Pinnacle Nano stick after testing a cheap noname DVBT stick. With the old one I had fewer channels and unacceptable performance after 20 minutes of uninterrupted usage (probably due to overheating of the device). The Pinnacle stick performs absolutely fantastic and is worth investing into. Minus one star because of problems with the bundled software which crashes all the time on my WinXP SP2. Finally I had to switch to BlazeDTV and forget about remote control, because ... Read More Rating:  - TVCenter Pro is Broken SoftwareGood points: 1. Hardware seems well built and capable. 2. I get decent reception using the supplied mini-aerial, but I'm in central London, on a second floor, and the aerial is next to the window. 3. The supplied software seems fairly feature full with lots of options etc, but: Bad point: 1. The supplied software is also the most broken I've ever seen in what's supposed to be a retail product. It's a complete and utter embarrassment. I'm a programmer myself, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
