| 695631 | 2008-08-07 11:10:00 | After doing some thorough research on TV Tuners I have narrowed my options to there two tuners: Leadtek WinFast DTV Dongle (www.ascent.co.nz) or Pinnacle PCTV NanoStick (www.ascent.co.nz) I am having a hard time trying to decide which one to get, but I currently favour the pinnacle nanostick for its compact size. Both say something about being able to receive freeview, does this mean I can watch freeview and watch the olmpic games? And will it have a clear image? |

| 695633 | 2008-08-07 22:23:00 | Have you got an HD monitor?? If not you may still be able to watch whatever. BUT not in HD. It may depend on how good your aerial is (if you use the aerial). On how good the pic will be |

| 695635 | 2008-08-07 23:39:00 | Should work, best to ask the shop, when you buy the tuner | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 695636 | 2008-08-08 00:38:00 | The shops ascent- do I email them? | Blam (54) | ||
| 695637 | 2008-08-08 04:37:00 | I have external moniter thats got a 1680x1050 resoultion, not enough for HD but I can still watch it right? 1680x1050 won't do Full HD (1080p or i), but will easily do 720p. :) |

| 695638 | 2008-08-08 05:57:00 | What resolution's 720p? | Blam (54) | ||
| 695639 | 2008-08-08 05:58:00 | 1280x720 IIRC. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 695640 | 2008-08-08 09:36:00 | I've bought the Pinnacle Nanostick because of it its tiny form form factor. This better be able to receive freeview so I can watch the olympic games! Hope its compatible with MediaPortal |
