In an era where everybody in every walk of life multitasks, it is no surprise that more and more of the gadgets we count on everyday also wear many hats…or chips, in the case of our laptop computers. As a mobile culture, the laptop is our third arm, connecting us to cyberspace, keeping kids busy with (hopefully educational activities), enabling us to stay entertained with our DVD of choice and enabling us to whittle our workload down before we go through customs and visit the luggage carousel.
Enter the PCTV™ HD sticks from Pinnacle, little wonders that bring the Windows or MAC PC (woo-hoo, the inventors multi-tasked too, for us—the MAC users) to a new level of functionality—bringing digital and analog television programming to the (really) small screen. Better still, the PCTV™ HD sticks from Pinnacle bring news, entertainment, weather and other key information to you and your computer free of additional or hidden charges. The USB 2.0 powered tuner and mini-remote, meanwhile, are so small that they fit in your coat pocket or handbag. And if you happen to be in customs, in meetings or taking off when your show hits the airwaves, no worries. The Pinnacle does an excellent impression of a TiVo, scheduling recordings ahead of time in HD and in SD, with no service fees.
When real life happens, you even have the power through the TimeShifting function to stop the show where you are and pick it back up later when you’re ready. It’s functionality that is deliciously liberating. Just ask Rachel Ray, one of television and media’s ultimate multitaskers, who described these wonders as “fantastic” and (in her unique and glib way) gushed over the “cute mini-remote.” Depending on the model, the PCTV™ HD sticks from Pinnacle run between $69-129 and are available at Best Buy as well as the web site www.pinnaclesys.com where multitaskers and gadget connoisseurs alike can check out Pinnacle’s other time-saving, convenience making products.
This week, one lucky winner (MAC or Windows user), will turn on and tune in to computer-generated TV bliss with the PCTV™ HD sticks from Pinnacle.
Winners will be randomly selected and notified April 14, 2008.
