Pinnacle PCTV™ HD Card brings SD and HD TV with full personal video recorder (PVR) functionality to your PC – with no desktop clutter.
Watch, time shift and even automatically record all of your favorite HD and SD TV shows with no service fees. It fully supports both analog (NTSC) and digital (ATSC) TV signals; the tuner hardware is also ready for ClearQAM (unencrypted digital cable).
Record programs on your hard drive in MPEG-2 or DivX® or even direct-to-DVD. Pause, rewind and fast-forward live TV with time shifting.
Capture SD video from a camcorder or set-top box using the included adapter cable.
1ATSC, the new digital broadcast standard, is now available in many areas of the United States. ATSC reception is dependent on many factors. A digital-enabled “rabbit ear” indoor antenna will allow reception in areas where there is a good ATSC signal. In regions or rooms where the signal is not strong, an amplified rooftop antenna will be required. Please consult with your local reseller or go to www.antennaweb.org for more information on areas covered and optimizing your reception.
2 For some of the codecs, a free online activation may be required.
3 For the use of Pinnacle Studio QuickStart, Windows XP is required.
