I think the answer to this is no.

You are misinformed. I bought a Hauppauge Tuner. It came with Windows software, then I used eyeTV software on my Mac and it works great. I just spent $29.00. Enjoy your overpriced Elgato.

they need to resell this again, i couldnt find my crdit card to buy it. i'd be glad to buy it if i could have.

Wow, this actually sold out in time? I'm stunned.

Wow... 27,000

Does anyone make a living flipping the semi-daily "steals" off Woot and its affiliated sites? Because you could. It would be a meager existence. But you still could...





Anyone want to buy a new Klipsch Synergy F-1 floorstanding loudspeaker - original unopened box?

If i shut off my TV part of cable and give them back all these dvr boxes and just keep my internet on - then i hook something like this to a connection that my internet is also hooked up to and get TV through my computer connection? and also be able to record and all that like I do now with DVR?

I gotta know this - see i am getting RAPEDEVERYMONTH just for basic expanded. and star gate is over now so what's the point?

Anyone know of good (free) software to quickly convert my xp machine (no media center) into a programmable DVR so that I can finally stop watching The Office on hulu?

someone mentioned mythtv above, is there something similar that would run on XP?

You could use Snapstream Beyond TV

Dang you fate!! I didn't have enough money in my account this morning but had the cash on me(to bad the Internet doesn't take cash) Had enough time to run by the bank, but there was a problem with the Internet at work so I could not buy it there, buy the time I got off work and made it home(witch is right now) it was SOLD OUT..... Missed it by a mere hour and a half.. Anyone that bought 3(or more) and wants to sell me one (for a small profit of course) PLEASE PM me and let me try to get one... Fate was against me today..

On a side note, I wish i could buy stuff from woot! on my phone. That would have solved this problem.. I can buy stuff off of EBay, Why not woot!?

USB 2.0 has a transfer rate that is so high, that it is not even fully utilized, so no, it does not lower the resolution.

I've sold a few woot-off items that were definitely "click first, think later" purchases; haven't really made a profit, but i also haven't lost any money yet.


I consider woot's prices to be more like "what a reasonable person would actually pay for this item/the actual worth of the product" without some of the middleman overhead than really a "steal."

Holy CARP Batman.....27,000 HDTV Tuners!!!!!!

cool

Yes. And it would also work to connect your toaster to a 1947 Ford Coupe. It's a miracle interface...

if anyone did pick up an extra or has changed their mind please hit me up as I am in the market for one of these. thanks.

Yep, I'm using this Pinnacle Ultimate stick with XP-Pro and the crummy Pinnacle Software. The model I have is the Ultimate that I bought here last December. I also have another one I bought here (maybe an 801 or something like that.) and it does CC too. It's the button just to the left of the volume on the TV frame. I use that when I'm on the phone and I need to mute the volume.

Glad to be part of the 27000 strong who bought this! :D

Me too ;P

It's my first woot.
Can't wait to get it and see how well it works.

YouCantWootThis wrote:FYI, this is the best post of the day. Well done.

Sounds good for the most part, but I am unsure of basic cable. I talked to time warner and they said it would work with basic cable. They aren't the best with any part of customer support/technology/etc. so I'll see how it goes.

All of the Pinnacle sticks use the same software to view and record TV. Make sure you have the most current version. The button to turn on CC is just to the left of the volume slide in the bottom section of the frame.

No. To do that, try the Grand Video Console. . . http://www.grandtec.com/products/video/videomate.html

Spud05 wrote:Can USB even transfer data fast enough to view full HD, or does this lower the resolution before sending it to the PC?

USB2.0 theoretically goes up to 480mbps(60MB/s). 1080i off a normal Digital station is around 8-9mbps(1.1MB/s). So you're fine.

I have a non-HD version of this, it works well, I have a TV in my office now so I don't really 'need' it on my computer but when WOOT is practically giving them away I was definitely in for one. Now I can watch two TV's in my office, and have it for work where we have no TV.

I have purchased woots from my blackberry and my palm Centro.

Can't wait to get this one, I have a ATI 650 HD PCI Express and really wanted a second tuner for OTA HD. It'll be nice to be able to record 2 channels again.

Help! I put the wrong shipping address for this in my order! Does anyone know where I can change that for an order that hasn't shipped yet?

Any chance these are going to ship in 5 days? If not it'd be cool to know so I can train my son how to use it because I'll be dead by the time it does ship.


27,000 units. Wow.

Congrats! Now you can Woot! on your Java phone.

BTW, has this shipped for anyone yet?

Hello All

Is it true that I still need to purchase and HD
Antenna to receive the over air HD channels?

This ship for anybody yet?

This works with Desktop or a Notebook. You can buy at Fry's or other electronics stores for $60.00 ish. Woot's deal is awesome and it does work for Windows 7 according to ATI. Also you get digital channel on your PC because computer are beyond HD; just need to make sure your antenna is HD.
P.S. Let us wooters know if anyone's order shipped yet.
