Pinnacle Debuts HD Ultimate USB Tuner

by marc klink

For those wary of anything that holds the Ultimate moniker, after the release of Microsoft Windows Vista,  there should be nothing to fear here.

This actually looks like it might be very useful to those people who wish to watch television on their laptop, or possibly add a second tuner to that cramped case that holds the HTPC.

The package includes an antenna for HD signals (UHF), and will also pick up old fashioned analog TV, if you just have to see that sort of thing. The description from Pinnacle says no software needs to be installed, and there is flash storage for up to two hours of television playback.

The entry fee is $130 - cheaper and lighter than carrying a small LCD television along, and for those wishing this for their home desktop, a version with similar features is available for $80.
