Pinnacle PCTV To Go HD Wireless

While the biggest update to this TV-to-PC extender might be a new logo, there are some changes worth noting.

Perhaps you are thinking this Pinnacle PC to Go HD wireless device looks a lot like the Hava from Monsoon. Good eye! As it turns out, Pinnacle and Monsoon worked out a deal and basically re-released the same product under a different name, with a few...

Pinnacle PCTV To Go HD Wireless review

Pinnacle

Streams sources to any broadband-connected Windows PC in the world; built-in wireless networking support; integration options for Windows Media Center PCs; can accept as many as four A/V inputs (composite, S-Video, RF, and HD component) with...

Only compatible with Windows PCs (so far); software and remote control options aren't as polished or thorough as those on the Slingbox; Media Center setup and integration isn't as easy and functional as it should be; recording function and Media Center...

The combination of built-in wireless and limited Windows Media Center integration makes the Pinnacle PCTV To Go HD Wireless one of the more promising Slingbox competitors for advanced users.

Pinnacle PCTV To Go

If you're thinking Pinnacle's TV streamer looks an awful lot like Monsoon's, it's because they're almost exactly the same—right down to the software and user manuals. The only difference is in the outer shell. Monsoon actually makes the PCTV To Go;...

Integrated tuner with built-in splitter

Mobile client software not yet available

We also like that the Hava and Pinnacle boxes automatically switch their video output to a 16:9 aspect ratio when they receive HD content. Unlike Sony’s LocationFree TV, however, neither box can currently act as a wireless access point on its own....

Pinnacle PCTV to go

Once connected a short set-up routine detects the box on the network from your PC and allows you to choose the make and model of the source device. An additional gadget called an 'IR Blaster' needs to be hooked up to the source which then enables you...

Allows you to view any content you can watch on your TV on your PC, remote source device control from a PC, full time-shift and record

Requires a wired (or wireless) network to connect to, no remote support from a PC running XP, no additional features often found in dedicated tuners

Pinnacle - PCTV to go

The ongoing romance between PC and TV has gathered pace this year: you'll now find a wide range of solutions if you're looking to get these two household 'essentials' working together. Although pivotal in the development ...

PCTV to go is an interesting alternative to a TV tuner that doesn't offer quite the wide range of features but throws in a few added advantages instead. If you think you'll get enough use out of it, you'll be pleased by its performance and usability.

Pinnacle PCTV To Go HD Wireless

During a recent Woot, the Pinnacle PCTV To Go HD Wireless showed up as a viable alternative to the Slingbox. I've always known that Pinnacle software is, uh, shall we say, not always the greatest in code quality, especially when it comes to Vista...
