PCTV HD Pro Stick (801e)
Bundled Software:
Pinnacle also decided to throw in a movie making software called Video Spin. This software is basically the watered down, easy to use, version of Sony DVD Architect. In other words, Video Spin is a program that lets you edit and splice different videos together, throw in some side effects to make movies. Video Spin provides step by step instructions on editing and creating and editing the videos. Despite its simplicity, Video Spin is not something to laugh at. This software has the ability of superimposing layers of different audio and video tracks in order to create any kind of video with any kind of background music. Also, as I was using this software, I also noticed the transition menu. This particular neat feature lets you create different kinds of transiotions between scenes which adds more fluidity to the movie.

Conclusion:
The usefullness of PCTV Pro Stick from Pinnacle greatly depends on the user. Priced at $92.99 at newegg.com this isn't the kind of item that you would want lying around without putting to use. If you are a true traveler that has the need of watching your favorite shows on the go, or just like sitting at home and watching TV on your computer instead of buying and expensive PVR then the PCTV would be right for you. If you aren't that person, then in my openion it would be more comfortable to watch movies how it should be done, on a Television set.
