After my intensively used about 5 years old Cinergy XS made more and more problems (that electronics can also slowly dying, I knew by then not yet) and a substitute-selling Pinnacle Stick though was pretty small, but otherwise both the reception (despite good location ), but even more so was a disappointment from the software ago, I returned in repentance for Terratec. This stick here was the solution. The MPEG files are recorded free of dropouts and of the highest quality, the use of resources (in contrast with Pinnacle) on a powerful laptop with Core 2 Duo P8700 is modest 10%, the stick is only lukewarm and developed over the years ever Software works well accustomed, even under Windows 7. What more could you want for the price?
