From the gallery you can also arrange for recordings to be transcoded into various formats, such as PSP/iPod-compatible MPeG-4, DivX,.mkv or.mpg, but youll need to pay 5 to use each after a trial period.
TV Center does, however, have its limitations. The ePG covers full schedules, but they take a long time to appear. Neither can you record and view different channels, even if theyre on the same mux. Picture and sound quality, especially with HD channels was, however, excellent on our regularly updated yoyotech PC equipped with a quad-core Intel processor, digital audio output and powerful aTi graphics card.Sensitivity appears to be good better than some Freeview HD boxes weve tried recently. Also positive is PCTVs decision to adopt bDa drivers, instead of a proprietary one so we were successfully able to partner the capable DVbViewer with the nanoStick T2. Macs arent supported (though drivers may follow), although one of the features of the supplied software DistanTV is an ability to stream the current programme (or a recording) to another computer on your home network. That computer can be a PC or Mac; you can also stream to other devices (such as iPads and iPhones).

Was it worth waiting for?Weve seen many digital terrestrial tuners for PCs, but until now all have supported only the original DVb-T standard and that means the brave new world of DVb-T2 HD broadcasting has been strictly off-limits.
All of this changes with the introduction of the nanoStick T2 290e from Hauppauge subsidiary PCTV Systems. The first tuner to support both standards, its a tiny and stylish uSb 2.0 dongle. Decoding and displaying HD channels is a punishing task; PCTV Systems recommends a multi-core 2.6GHz processor for HDTV.Its tiny, but the nanoStick T2 also accommodates an infrared receiver for armchair control over volume/channel changes and other features. The supplied handset is small but perfectly formed, however, those small buttons wont be appreciated by the ham-fisted. Also included is a somewhat-optimistic whip aerial only of use if you can literally see the transmitter mast from your window. For those who arent in such a position, an adapter allows standard aerial connectors to be attached to the nanoStick T2s diddly little MCX socket.

TV Center offers all the essential features including the selection of subtitles and alternative soundtracks, timeshifting and a smart, grid-based ePG for scheduling recordings (radio or TV) and channel-changes. Red-button digital teletext does not figure here. Recordings, which can be quickly opened for playback in TV Centers gallery, take the form of transport streams.

The nanoStick T2 was found to work very well indeed, and its accompanying software boasts some unusual features (such as streaming and transcoding). It can be used with desktop and notebook Windows PCs, although HDTV demands powerful hardware. But yes, it was worth the wait.ratingsPLUSn Freeview HD on a PC n Sensibly pricedn BDA driversMinUSn No Mac support yetn Powerful machine is needed for HD receptionn Some functionality chargeableBuild hhhhhhhhhhSetup hhhhhhhhhhSearching hhhhhhhhhhnavigation hhhhhhhhhhPerformance hhhhhhhhhhFeatures hhhhhhhhhhValue hhhhhhhhhh86%.
