The World’s Smallest Digital TV Tuner

PCTV picoStick (74e) is a revolutionary small DVB-T USB tuner for Windows PCs. Thanks to an all-new integrated chip technology, it “brings DVB-T reception to new dimensions”. With a length of 35mm and a width of 12mm the hogh-grade steel enclosure is significantly smaller than all other TV USB dongles in the market place.

Despite the extreme miniaturization, the device provides high sensitivity and allows perfect TV reception also in areas with lower signal quality. Its uniquely designed metal case with its protective clamp makes it a stylish accessory for modern, small laptops, netbook and nettop PCs.

Never miss your favorite TV show again!

The included all-new TVCenter 6 software makes it easy to watch, time shift and record live TV. With its newly designed user interface the PCTV picoStick integrates smoothly into Windows® 8 and Windows 7. It enables watching TV and recordings in full-screen or in a freely scalable window while working with other software.

PCTV picoStick comes with a new telescopic mini rod-antenna kit. The antenna stick can either be attached to the magnetic base or – in areas with good DVB-T signal – directly connected to the antenna input of PCTV picoStick.
