CrestaTV - Watch Local Digital TV on your Laptop

January 12th, 2010

AT CES this year, there were plenty of companies offering PC to TV connectivity - both wirelessly and through set top boxes. CrestaTV is unique though, because of its focus on harnessing already available signals.

Through a variety of chips and different input receivers, including a simple USB adapter users can quickly channel all local signals to their laptop for entertainment. CrestaTV has developed an easy-to-use software that allows users to listen to AM or FM radio and watch Local Digital or Analog Broadcast TV.

The technology uses GPS Signal to recognize where you are and to pick up the different entertainment signals. Their software also allows you to pause, record and share your favorite videos and tv shows. It is like an on-the-go Tivo!

Learn more and get a first look at the device in the Demo Video below:
