First Look!
PCTV HD Ultimate Stick
Not Yet Rated
by

Want to help your folks watch the
Super Bowl game
(and all the commercials)
in BRILLIANT HighDef but
can't afford a HUGE SCREEN?
That's the claim and here's how
it works...
They
may not realize it but they've
already got a HD screen (it's called
a
computer screen).
And they can get the blow-by-blow
without having cable TV...it's
called
HighDef Over-The-Air and...IT'S
REAL!!!!
All they need to enjoy it all is the
Pinnacle PCTV HD Ultimate stick
and
their Windows notebook or PC. Yes
there is a version for Mac folks
also called the Pinnacle TV for Mac
HD stick.
Load the software...connect the PCTV
HD Stick to your USB port...Adjust
the antenna and BAM!!! You're
enjoying the game in fantastic high
def color and imagery.
Beats the heck out of draining your
bank balance to lug a huge screen
home for one lousy game...
You can even grab the game to your
HD and enjoy it (and the
commercials) again ... and
again...and again by storing it to
your computer's hard disk.
Who needs cable or a DVR for that
matter?
And you get it all for well under
$100!!!! (street price)
Suddenly you look like a freakin
genius....you're so cool !!!!
Tell your folks all about it and
help them save big $$$$
How
well does it work - We'll let
you know as soon as it arrives,
later this week. Don't miss the
action!

standard, is now available in many
areas of the United States. ATSC

rooms where the signal is not
strong, an amplified rooftop antenna
will be required. It is generally
not possible to receive an ATSC
signal while en route (e.g. in a car
or train). Please consult with your
local reseller or go to
www.antennaweb.org for more
information on areas covered and
optimizing your reception.
