Pinnacle PCTV To Go lets you “PlaceShift” your home TV. But what is PlaceShifting?

“PlaceShifting” technology lets you watch the shows received by your home TV on your PC. You no longer have to be seated in front your living room TV to enjoy your favourite shows. All the video entertainment available from your home cinema system is now available anywhere you go. All you need is a PC and access to either your home network or the Internet.

How does it work?

PCTV To Go takes the video signal from your TV source, transforms it into a stream of information, and sends it out over the home network or the Internet.

Using the included PCTV To Go Player software on your PC, you can “tune” into this stream. If your PC is equipped with Windows Vista Home Premium or Ultimate or Windows XP Media Center Edition, PCTV To Go will also seamlessly work as virtual tuner in Windows Media Center (in home network configuration). PCTV To Go also lets you watch video from a DVD player, VCR or DVR.

What would I want to “PlaceShift”?

Because you can now step out of the living room without leaving your home entertainment system behind.

Imagine taking your laptop into the kitchen and being able to cook along with your favourite cooking show.
Or watch the big game in a small window while working on your PC.
Or catch the live broadcast of your favourite series in your language from your hotel room six time zones away.

These are just a few ways to enjoy the new freedom of “PlaceShifting”.
