Quote:It’s a Thursday night. It’s midnight. You’re the only one in the neighborhood because of the community cruise. They invited you, but you just aren’t a fan of boats. Besides, it’s sort of nice having all this land to yourself. Quiet. Peaceful. But you still have to work the next day, so you’re getting ready for bed. The television’s on. And just as you pull on your “Can’t Stop The Signal” jammies you hear a familiar voice from the speakers. It’s Joss Whedon, and he’s got a very special, very secret, totally final surprise episode of Firefly that reveals everything and answers ever question you’ve ever had, once and for all. And he’s going to show it in HD. Right now. Only once. It will never air again. And that’s when you hear the quiet popping noise as your television dies. If you had a Pinnacle PCTV High Definition PCI Tuner Card, this wouldn’t be an issue. You’d run to that computer with at least a Pentium 4 2.2 GHz (Pentium 4 2.8 GHz recommended for Hi-Def) and about 512 MB of RAM and an open PCI 2.3 slot. Right away you’d be getting NTSC, ATSC and ClearQAM through the included antenna or your pre-existing cable box. You’d even be recording that signal in the file format of your choice with VideoSpin editing software. You’d be busy learning all about who those blue hand guys really were, and not wasting time in a jail cell for breaking into your neighbor’s house to watch TV. And remember, there aren’t any torrents in prison! Now, we admit, the odds of this actually happening are pretty slim, but just think about it seriously for a second. Can you really be sure it isn’t possible? Can you really afford to take the risk? Imagine if you just said “I’ll download it tomorrow” and went to bed. What if you work up the next morning and discovered it was a test, a test by the studios to see if they were going to bring back the series, and the ratings had been short… BY JUST ONE VIEWER!!! Would you be able to forgive yourself? So, please, for your own peace of mind, it’s best that all you Browncoats immediately buy the Pinnacle PCTV High Definition PCI Tuner Card and have it on Hi-Def Standby… just in case.
