If you're scouting the perfect <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/03/peeping-sonys-new-locationfree-tv-lf-x11-and-lf-pk1/">placeshifting</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/snappys-hava-video-streamer/">device</a> to cure those television blues while stuck at your TV-less grandmother's house for Thanksgiving, the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/slingbox">Slingbox</a> might not be the obvious choice anymore. Granted, it'll probably be awhile before the current king is dethroned, Pinnacle is giving the shifting game its best shot with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/22/pinnacle-pctv-usb-stick-puts-digital-tv-on-your-screen/">PCTV</a> To Go.

It also allows full control over your attached DVR, giving you the opportunity to schedule a recording for that oh-so-critical rerun of <em>Nick Arcade, Season One</em>. It reportedly works seamlessly with your home entertainment system, acting as a pass-through device that won't complicate things when wiring it up, but there's no word on whether it <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/12/sling-medias-slingbox-hd-connect-up-for-pre-order/">supports HD</a> signals.
