Pinnacle MediaCenter TV View Functions
The Pinnacle MediaCenter gives you the extensive and diverse functions of a
modern multi-media program. Its convenient and easy-to-use displays let you
enjoy a wide variety of media such as television, radio, music, movies, and
photos as well as access the products offered by various online services:
ƒ
In the TV area, you can keep track of the current TV schedule and the shows
you have recorded not only directly on your PC, but also from the comfort of
your armchair or sofa thanks to full screen mode and the remote control
included. In addition, you can use the teletext function and the Electronic
Program Guide (EPG) to get quick and comprehensive information about the
TV schedule as well as all the latest news.
Want to record a TV show? With a simple push of a button, you can start
recording the current TV program at any time. Use the EPG function to
quickly and simply program your machine to record upcoming shows. You
won't have to miss any of your favorite TV programs again.
Even annoying interruptions while watching TV are no longer a bother
because you can delay watching a program by using the timeshift function.
ƒ
In the Radio area, you can receive any available FM radio station or digital
radio station (depending on PCTV hardware used). You can also create radio
playlists in the "Advanced Settings" so that you can receive the radio stations
assigned to a certain category at any time. Recording FM radio broadcasts is
quick and easy with the Pinnacle MediaCenter - either press a button to
record the current program immediately or schedule an upcoming radio
program for later enjoyment.
In addition, the Pinnacle MediaCenter lets your receive Internet radio.
ƒ
In the Movies area, you can view movies from a CD/DVD or from your hard
disk - all this from the comfort of your sofa using the remote control. No
need to get up and fiddle with the PC. If you have previously categorized
your movies in the Pinnacle MediaManager, you can easily access these
categories and select movies according to certain criteria.
ƒ
In the Music area, you can access CDs or files created in the Pinnacle
MediaManager. Play back your music according to any criteria you set (for
example, according to music genre or artist) and select just the right music to
suit your mood or the occasion.
ƒ
In the Photos area, you can view photos saved on your hard disk or on CD.
Photos can also be categorized in the Pinnacle MediaManager (for example,
the pictures from your last vacation or that one party or simply those taken on
a certain date) so that you see only those photos that you really want to see -
quickly and hassle-free. If you want to show off your photos, you can also set
up a slide show to display them as a group.
