Maybe It Will Be Revolutionized After All
There’s a joke about Calvin Coolidge that goes like this: A man goes to a fancy dinner and is seated next to the taciturn President. The man says, “Sir, my wife bet me a dollar that I couldn’t make you say three words.” Coolidge replies, “You lose.”
Despite his reputation, Coolidge was the first president to deliver a radio address, on this day in 1924. It is in his honor that we offer the Pinnacle TV PCTV HD Pro Stick.
The Pinnacle TV PCTV HD Pro Stick lets you pull HD signals from the air like they were dragonflies and you were the tongue of a big ol’ bullfrog. It works with your laptop (or PC) via the USB 2.0 powered Tuner. It would even work on a Mac if you could find Mac software to support it, since said software is not included. Sorry, Appley-cants, we really tried our best to find you a link.
But once you get it running, hook up an antenna and start watching high-quality tv on your own terms. You can use TimeShifting to watch your shows when you want to watch them, using your Pinnacle TV PCTV HD Pro Stick like a Digital Video Recorder. Pause, rewind, replay, you can use the Electronic Program Guide to schedule all your electronic programs, like Automan or Misfits of Science. Prep that episode of Lost for your iPod or edit your own Deal Or No Deal boxed set. As far as we’re concerned, you just can’t have too much Howie!
The included remote means you don’t even have to get up. You get cables, batteries, the antenna, and a CD with PC software for Windows XP. Who needs a tv? Not you! Save those for the suckers and the Apple people! You’re drag racing towards Future Canyon at a billion miles an hour! And who’s your co-pilot? The Pinnacle TV PCTV HD Pro Stick, that’s who.
