Anyone who watches television is probably aware of the upcoming digital switchover coming to the United States on February 17, 2009. What has remained a mystery is how this will affect the consumer electronics market, not only for standard televisions; but for HTPCs as well. The U.S. federal government is trying to ease the switchover in a couple different ways: first, all televisions, DVD recorders, and computer-based television tuners sold after March 1, 2007 are required to support the new digital standard. Secondly, the federal government is sending $40 vouchers for set top boxes that would bring older analog sets into compliance.

Now, this probably sounds like a major hassle to most consumers, especially those that do not keep themselves on the bleeding edge of electronics. On the other hand, digital means better, right? Will the new digital age of television allow for a better overall experience? This is a question I hope to tackle as I review today's product: the Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick.
