Record stereo television shows, grab high-quality still pictures and archive them onto VCD or DVD with PCTV Stereo. PCTV Stereo combines an internal television tuner card and Pinnacle's Vision 5 recording software, providing you with the perfect solution for recording television shows to your PC and backing them up onto VCD, SVCD or DVD.

One of the most exciting features of PCTV Stereo is the software's built-in TimeShifting technology, which lets you pause a television show currently in progress. If, for example, you're in the middle of watching an exciting sporting event and the telephone rings, press the pause button and PCTV continues recording the show in the background. When you finish your call, press the play button to resume watching exactly where you left off. Of course depending on how much of a particular show has been cached, you'll also be able to rewind the program and fast forward through commercials!

Using the latest tuner and video decoder technology, PCTV Stereo couples phenomenal picture quality with features only found on high-end set top personal video recorders.

Do you have a lot of programs stored on your hard drive that you'd like to watch on your living room DVD player? No problem, PCTV Stereo lets you record all of your favorite shows onto a VCD, SVCD, or DVD that can play in most set top DVD players. Select the shows you want to back up, and then, with the click of a button, quickly burn them to disc. It's that easy!

With all of these features and more, it's easy to see why PCTV Stereo is the most feature rich and cost-effective way to record television programs to your computer and ultimately to CD or DVD.
