I was born a gadget freak. This is a fact that can be proven by looking at a note written by a teacher on the bottom of one of my grade school report cards. "...Julie continues to bring little toys and things to school to trade with the boys..." Lucky for me, my parents never condemned my love of tech. My Dad actually encouraged it, by allowing me to dismantle old household devices in order to retrieve the magnets from their motors. As for computers, I started out with a Texas Instruments TI/994a computer, then several Commodore 64's, an Atari ST, various home built Windows boxes and currently a 24" Apple iMac. My PDA and phone usage is in constant flux. I get bored easily and can never get enough new devices to try.

On Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick (801e) USB TV Tuner Review:
Jeffrey:
Thanks for the tip. I'll try to get my hands on some Mac software to try with this tuner.
Bill:
The PCTV is not a converter box. It's a tuner and it will continue to work after 2/19/09. You've always had the ability to pull in HD signals with an analog antenna (I've been doing it for quite a while now). The trick was that you need an HD capable TV, satellite box or cable box in order to show the signals / programs on your TV. You can go to antennaweb.org to see what channels are available in your area that can be pulled in with a regular antenna.
Shows can be recorded to your hard drive in MPEG-1/2 or DivX formats, or direct-to-DVD.
Jake:
Sorry, it just has one tuner, not two :o)
