"TV On The Go With Compro USB Stick"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:19/05/2009

If you are out and about and your favourite TV show is on, you can either miss it, have your PVR record it, or watch it live. You do not need to bring your television though: all you need is a notebook, an extra USB slot, and the Compro VideoMate Hybrid Stick.

This USB stick will allow users to watch digital and analogue channels, listen to FM stations, record TV shows (using its recording software and your hard drive), and capture analogue video from Composite and S-Video sources.

In addition to the U2600F, the box includes a remote control, an I type to F type converter, a Start up guide, an FM antennae, a digital TV antennae (rabbit ears), a USB 2.0 cable, an Installation CD, and a 3-in-1 video/audio input cable.

Before installing anything, you must make sure that your PC or notebook supports the minimum system requirements of the device: Pentium III (1.7GHz), 512MB of RAM, USB 2.0 ports, sound card, graphics card that supports DirectX 9.0, Windows XP SP2, and 150MB free disk space. However, the company has stated that in order to ?use all the features of the VideoMate U2600F, your PC must have at least a 2.6GHz CPU With SSE 2 support for recording, 1GB of RAM, sound card, Windows Vista, updated drivers, and 150MB of space for installation.
