How much would YOU pay to turn your PC into a FULL-FEATURED HD TV with ATSC, NTSC, Clear QAM, and FM tuning capability? WAIT - don’t answer yet! What if your PC could also act as a PERSONAL VIDEO RECORDER, letting you pause and rewind LIVE TV and capture YOUR favorite shows to YOUR hard drive in YOUR choice of video format? And all WITHOUT paying a PENNY in monthly service fees? How much would you pay? Five hundred dollars? Six hundred? A thousand?
Of course not. You’re not stupid.
That’s why we’re bringing you the world premiere of the Pinnacle PCTV HD Card
for a mere fifty bucks. Along with the features we drooled about in
that first paragraph, it can also capture from your cable/satellite
set-top box with the included a/v cable, and it’s fully compatible with
Windows Media Center. We’re pretty sure we don’t need to pull a
huckster hard-sell to move this PCI-card HD tuner, especially at this price – but what the hell, right?
