Pinnacle PCTV HD USB 2.0 Stick 23049 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a pc with Win7 attached to a large screen TV. This device was easy to attach and set up. I have it connected to an outside antenna for input. The problem is that it's unreliable. I have it set up to record several shows regularly. Sometimes it works fine. Sometimes it records, but there's a problem - you can view the show, but can't fast forward or move backward. Occasionally, it doesn't record at all. I have no idea why, since the setup is exactly the same. If you have cable or a different version of Windows, it might work better or worse, but this has been my experience.
