5 out of 5 stars GREAT ON MACBOOK PRO!   July 21, 2008

Very nice product. The picture is very clear, the sound is great, and depending on where you live, you will have good amount of HD channels (as well as analog channels). You can also hook it up directly to your cable jack but you will only get analog channels.

The HD Stick essentially turns your Mac into a DVR. You can pause live tv, record to your computer or external hard drive and even schedule recordings. The equipment is portable and i can carry it in my laptop bag without it looking bulky. The magnetic antennae base keeps it nice and stable (if you have somewhere metallic to place it). The remote control is compact and intuitive. The box also comes with an A/V input adapter if you want to capture video from your camcorder, game console or other personal media devices.





4 out of 5 stars Works quite well; should upgrade to full EyeTV   May 13, 2008

Installing was quick and painless on my MBP. I had to download the latest EyeTV Lite package from the Pinnacle site since my computer is running Leopard, and used the included serial number to activate. The included antenna picked up all my local digital channels with ease. The card is wide but they thought ahead and included a small USB extension cable so that you don't lose the adjacent port. EyeTV Lite, though, is a bit lacking on certain features. I couldn't find a way to manually tune in a digital channel that wasn't found during the scan and the deinterlacing on 1080i channels was disappointing at times. I upgraded to the full version of EyeTV 3.0, which also works perfectly with Leopard. The full version has a few deinterlacing options, allows manual tuning of digital channels and has some neat features such as remote scheduling through TitanTV.

I've been recording shows flawlessly. The quality is great and (at least with the full version; I didn't try with Lite) editing out commercials for archiving is fairly easy.

The USB stick itself is the same as the Pinnacle PCTV Pro 800e, so if you download the drivers for that plus the free WatchHDTV program you can also use it with Windows, if you dual boot.

I recommend this product, though it seems Pinnacle has updated the PCTV Pro with a newer tuner chip for better reception and hopefully will update this product soon as well.

Best HD stick for a mac works with the indoor antenna if you are living off the signal tower prefer an external antenna for better clarity and more channels
