HD Free-to-Air TV viewing has become popular in the past year, specially now that cable companies are switching to fully Digital and HDTV is becoming more of a standard.
However if you arent a HDTV subscriber and would like a free flexible alternative to watching HDTV on your PC, Pinnacle has created a sleek device, the PCTV HD Pro USB Stick.
The PCTV HD Pro handles Standard definition TV cable (NTSC), HD (ATSC) and FM Radio. It also allows you to connect to your cable service directly into the wall using ClearQAM for any unencrypted digital signal (in most cases all your basic channels). The HD broadcast playback is up to 1080i, both on ASTC and ClearQAM and handle over-the-air SD/HD programming.

Feature Summary
Overall the PCTV HD Pro Stick delivers a terrific package of features for PC TV viewing. The performance is good as long as you have a fast processor and enough free memory. Multitasking will slow things down, and the software included is a litle slow when changing channels in general, however the TVCenter Pro is intuitive to use. The flexibility in being ablt to connect to your existing cable outlet, receiver box or antenna is a big plus which ensures that where ever you go you have options for TV viewing. The free HD (ATSC) viewing was very good when the signal was above 80% and all the regular digital cable channels (using ClearQam) were excellent.

Check out Destiny: Rise of Iron (Original Soundtrack) by Michael Salvatori, Skye Lewin, C Paul Johnson & Rotem Moav on Amazon Music. Stream ad-free or purchase CD's and MP3s now on Amazon.com. Best destiny soundtrack. Bungie's soundtrack for Destiny's second expansion, Rise of Iron, which may or may not contain wolves, but definitely has iron. A little less dramatic than TTK's soundtrack, but still spacey enough. I left out Sepiks Redux, because it's kinda out of place, and is also really bad. The Bungie Store-exclusive Destiny: Rise of Iron Original Soundtrack Digital Edition is the definitive edition, including over a hour of music in MP3 format, high-quality Apple Lossless, and FLAC formats for a superior audio experience.
