Pinnacle PCTV HD mini stick for Mac and PC Review:
When I first heard anout this product, I was a bit skeptical, because of some of the bad reviews that this product had recived over the internet.
However, I said what the heck, I can always send it back if it doesn't work out.
Save to say, this little wonder works great on my Vostro 1500, despite the bad reviews. I live in a podunk little town, and I got six very strong Digital and HD signals, and that was even without the use of the external antenna included, wich I would not use anyhow, due to it's magnetic base.
All my Digital and HD stations come in great, with very little or no breakup. If it does this well in a small town like Palm Springs, I am dying to check out what it can do in a major metro area. I strongly reccomend this product to almost everyone.
