The
PCTV USB is really a great and amazing device. Some will think that TV is
gadget but honestly we really like this feature (we are now wondering how
we can live without it!) And the video capture features of this device are
also greats and very easy for novice users. NetMeeting also recognizes
this device, so if you plug your favorite camcorder on it you don’t need
anymore a poor quality WebCam!!! If you’re a multimedia enthusiast, why
wait??
