The 80e PCTV HD Mini Stick from Hauppauge is a compact, USB-powered TV tuner whose integrated signal booster improves reception sensitivity even if the signal isn't strong. A perfect match for super-slim laptops, the PCTV HD Mini Stick lets you enjoy TV in full-screen mode or in a scalable window while using other applications.
With the TVCenter software you can timeshift, record and program all your favorite shows. It also features the direct-to-DVD recording or scheduled recordings to your hard drive in native MPEG-2 quality or in space-saving DivX format. There's even one-click recording to hard disk or DVD.
It provides everything you need to turn your PC into a digital TV with fully functional Personal Video Recorder (PVR). You can actually view and record over-the-air HD content for free (ATSC). If you have cable TV (ClearQAM) at home, you can get the best out of it and receive the available digital HD channels on your PC, at no additional cost.
The PCTV HD mini Stick includes a USB 2.0 powered TV tuner with integrated infrared (IR) receiver and a mini-remote control.
