picoStick 
(74e) 
 
The World’s Smallest Digital 
TV Tuner 
 
 
Overview 
PCTV picoStick (74e) is a revolutionary small DVB-T 
USB  tuner for Windows PCs. Thanks to an all-new 
integrated chip technology, it “brings DVB-T reception 
to new dimensions”.  
 
With a length of 35mm and a width of 12mm the 
metal enclosure is significantly smaller than all other 
TV USB dongles in the market place. 
 
Despite the extreme miniaturization, the device 
provides high sensitivity and allows perfect TV 
reception also in areas with lower signal quality. 
 
Its uniquely designed metal case with its protective 
clamp makes it a stylish accessory to modern, small 
laptops, netbook and nettop PCs. 
 
The included all-new TVCenter 6 software makes it 
easy to watch, timeshift and record live TV. With its 
newly designed user interface the PCTV picoStick 
integrates smoothly into Windows® Vista and 
Windows 7. It enables watching TV and recordings in 
full-screen or in a freely scalable window while working 
with other software. 
 
PCTV picoStick comes with a new telescopic mini 
rod-antenna kit. 
The antenna stick can either be attached to the 
magnetic base or – in areas with good DVB-T signal – 
directly connected to the antenna input of PCTV 
picoStick.
