Terratec Cinergy DT USB XS Diversity (Dual DVB-T) USB 2.0 DVB-T USB

The Cinergy DT USB XS Diversity is making the next generation of DVB-T reception possible. The handy TV stick can be connected easily to your laptop or PC using a 2.0 USB port and makes it possible for you to watch TV on your computer without the need for extra wires and cables. The brilliant new Cinergy DT USB XS Diversity is breaking the mold thanks to a few of its groundbreaking new functions:

<b>Diversity mode</b>
In Diversity mode, the signals picked up by the two provided rod antennas combine to form a new, improved signal. This is finally making it possible to pick up better reception in most of the fringe DVB-T service areas without having to install a roof antenna or having to buy other accessories, such as active antennas. Likewise, using the Diversity function in DVB-T service areas allows for interruption-free reception while traveling - ideal for long train rides or for entertaining children in the back seat of your car.

<b>Dual-tuner mode</b>
If the strength of the signal you are receiving is already sufficient, the provided Terratec Home Cinema TV software deactivates the Diversity mode, instantly making two tuners available in one device. Now you can receive two programs at the same time - or you can watch one program while recording another.

<b>Convenient functions</b>
Whether in Diversity mode or Dual-tuner mode, the Terratec Home Cinema software always offers a full range of convenient functions. In addition to familiar features, such as timeshifting TV programs, an electronic program guide (EPG) and a digital video recorder, our system provides new applications that will quickly become features you cannot live without. For example, you can scan through current television listings via remote programming over the Internet, and you can program the system to record with just a click of the mouse. In addition, the TerraTec Home Cinema can also access the established tvtv.de service - a year's subscription is included in the purchase price. The computer boots up from standby or sleep mode precisely when the chosen television show begins and then saves it on your hard drive automatically. It's even easier to record using the electronic program guide, or directly, while a program is in progress. Just press the corresponding button on the remote control. No matter how you plan your recordings, they can be viewed immediately, even while the recording is in progress!

<b>Perfect television viewing on your computer</b>
Your Cinergy DT USB XS Diversity has even more capabilities when used in conjunction with TerraTec Home Cinema software: Automatic optimization of aspect ratio, Dolby digital (AC3) recording, teletext and subtitles, DVB radio support (where broadcasted) and user-defined favorites lists (genre, location), multi-tuner support, readily available help functions, and the commercial editor Cut!, which now makes it even easier to remove blocks of commercials. Sleek and easy on your computer's resources, user-friendly, yet multi-functional - with the TerraTec Home Cinema, TerraTec has finally made the experience of watching television on your computer both real and complete!

<b>Windows Media Center Edition</b>
The Cinergy DT USB XS Diversity supports Windows Media Center Edition. Upgrade your personal multimedia system in the living room with a powerful TV solution which lets you watch one program and record another.
