Reviews of the Pinnacle PCTV To Go HD Wireless
-
CNET Review
The Good: Streams sources to any broadband-connected Windows PC in the world; built-in wireless networking support; integration options for Windows Media Center PCs; can accept as many as four A/V inputs (composite, S-Video, RF, and HD component) with pass-through; no host PC or monthly charges required; simultaneous streaming to multiple clients on a LAN; controls many brands of cable and satellite boxes and DVRs; excellent video quality over LAN, decent video quality via the Internet.
The Bad: Only compatible with Windows PCs (so far); software and remote control options aren't as polished or thorough as those on the Slingbox; Media Center setup and integration isn't as easy and functional as it should be; recording function and Media Center streaming doesn't work outside a LAN; just one audio input for three inputs; monopolizes the attached device during viewing.
The Bottom Line: The combination of built-in wireless and limited Windows Media Center integration makes the Pinnacle PCTV To Go HD Wireless one of the more promising Slingbox competitors for advanced users.
