This includes pausing and automatically recording all of your favorite shows in the familiar and friendly MCE environment. All of this, and there is absolutely no new software to learn. The PCTV HD Ultimate Stick is a must have for anyone that wants to get a taste of HD quality content for a fraction of the price of an HD TV set.
