The tiny picoStick offers Freeview for PCs

Measuring just 12 mm x 35 mm the picoStick from PCTV Systems is being marketed as the smallest Freeview tuner in the world.

It is shaped like a USB flash drive but this device is a serious piece of kit, allowing users to access the-free-to view TV service on their laptop no matter where they are located, provided that the Freeview service is available in that area.

The picoStick is a fully functioning Freeview tuner with its own electronic programme guide (EPG), live pause and the user can even schedule recordings too.

The device is one of the only Freeview tuners that can be carried around in the pocked or laptop case.

It can be pre-ordered on Play.com and Amazon for just £59.99.
