Review: Pinnacle PCTV HD Mini Stick

Pinnacle just released the PCTV HD Mini Stick; a USB powered HDTV tuner designed with travel in mind. Featuring ATSC and ClearQAM tuning, direct to DIVX or DVD recording, and around the size of a typical flash drive, I test the capabilities of Pinnacles newest ultra-compact HDTV tuner.

First Impressions
Opening the package, you can immediately see how small this HDTV tuner is. It is barely bigger - mainly just a little thicker - than a common flash drive. Already owning the PCTV HD Card for just over a year, I have already been familiar with the setup and functionality of Pinnacles recent HDTV tuners, and the HD Mini Stick follows suit.
