Pinnacle points out the obvious: DVR is an Olympics must-have

First off, Pinnacle's latest PCTV HD Pro Stick came out months ago, and as a matter of fact, the original actually surfaced years ago. However, it's latest ploy for press does make a valid point: USB TV tuners and / or HD DVRs are a must-have item for surviving the Olympics. Oh sure, you can do what most Americans will do and simply tune into the highlights, but this is your one shot in four years to catch planet Earth's greatest summer athletes doing their respective thangs in high-definition! Still, you've only got two eyes and one pair of ears, so now would be a very opportune time to pick up some form of recording device to make sure you don't miss a, er, too many moments.

Im not buying into all the hype. I will watch some events, sure, but I won't try to watch them all.

aside from not watching international political events like the olympics, pinnacle is JUNK. If you want a lot of problems all the way around, from installation to daily use, Pinncale is your choice. Otherwise, I use AverMedia with no probs at all.

funny thing, I use the TV stick and it works fine. also have the studio 11 and it edits well to. guess it depends on your computer and what's driving it (ram, cpu, harddrive). it's video, video seems to take a bit of power, I have power.
