Like TiVo Without the Fees

Pinnacle Systems, known for their low-priced, video editing software, Studio, is now promoting their PCTV products. PCTV Deluxe comes with a USB2 device that you connect to your cable feed and PC. Viola, now you can record TV shows on your computer’s hard drive similar to how TiVo works. This technology has been around for a couple of years now but Pinnacle is putting together all the pieces to make it simple for us non-computer-geeks. Plus, once you own this stuff, you’ll want to buy some of their other products *cough* *Studio* *cough* to “play” with the shows you’ve recorded.
