What channels are available with the Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Usb stick.?

Question

I was looking at it, and I was considering it but I am not sure if it has channels like, A&E, Nick, Cartoon, Disney, Discovery and the like?

Answer 1

That would depend on which country you are in and which channels you subscribe to. The Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro USB should receive all Freeview Channels, in the UK but for Satelite / Cable Channels, you will still require a decoder of which you will need to connect to your PC. As for those Channels that you mention, I wouldn't bother going through the inconvenience and expense when better Channels are available for free. Instead of Cartoon Network, Disney etc. CBBC and CITV are much better. CBBC runs quality children's programs and has no advertising whereas the US companies run loads of advertising and poor quality cartoons in between. If you are in the UK, I would recommend that you get a Freeview box as they are only £25 to £30 now and connect it to your PC via a good TV Card. Total cost will be around £85 to £90 (possibly a little cheaper) and enjoy the Freeview Channels. Film 4 shows top movies from 9pm every night, ITV 3 and ITV 4 regularly show movies, you can receive the History Channel, BBC 3 have excellent comedies ( Two Pints, Little Britain etc. etc.), BBC News 24 has recently been voted the best News Channel in the world and if you must have the so called comedies (crap) from the US you can always watch Five US. On top of those, you still have BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. Have to go now as there's a good US Documentary on Channel 4. It's called The Simpsons and it's all about a typical American Family LOL
