Ultimate Carrot Sold Separately

By now, you’ve seen the dire warning scrolling across a sitcom, police drama, or B-list dance-off near you: regular over-the-air TV broadcasts will end in February 2009, you need a digital receiver or converter so you don’t miss a single belly-laugh on According to Jim, etc. What this really says to us is “don’t bother with the converter box – just throw your analog TV away.”

For real, man. Receiving analog TV signals was the one thing regular TVs could do better than computers. Now they’ll only work if you add a little computer to them, so what’s the point? Between the Scylla of digital conversion and the Charybdis of the Pinnacle 880e PCTV Ultimate Stick, the good ship That Old TV is about to crash on the rocks of redundancy.

See, not only does the Pinnacle 880e PCTV Ultimate Stick let you receive digital TV signals on your PC, it also lets you record up to 2 hours of TV directly to the stick itself, like a tiny little TiVo without the cute mascot. Tote it along wherever and watch your recorded shows on any PC. The stick’s selfsame flash memory also holds the software that lets it run. Just cram this beast into a USB port and commence to watching in mere seconds – no CD to install, no Setup Wizard casting his spell of confusion, and sure as hell no coaxial cables for you to try to screw in over and over and over.

So clear away that old TV and give your PC pride of place in front of the couch. And if you really want to keep that saggy boob tube for sentimental reasons, there’ll be some space opening up on your computer desk.
