The Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS FM is the latest TV stick from TerraTec and comes with an FM Tuner.

It can receive digital (Freeview) and analogue TV signals as well as FM Radio.

Users just have to connect the TV tuner to a notebook or PC via a USB 2.0 port to be able to watch TV and listen to the radio.

Beyond enabling digital reception, the Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS FM also offers recording options, including time shifting (time-delayed television), which lets viewers interrupt programs and resume viewing later at the same place.

This tool can be controlled manually, remotely, and even via Internet or mobile phone.

It also offers multi-tuner support and even picture-in-picture functionality.

MAGIX software application Movies on CD & DVD TV Edition is also part of the package, and enables users to remove ads, tune the picture and audio, and create DVD menus.

Finished recordings can be recorded on CD or DVD using the included software, enabling users to build-up their own film archive.

The Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS is also equipped with inputs for analogue video and audio signals with which users can import analogue videos from camcorders and video recorders to the computer.

The Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS FM, which comes with a remote control, is priced £59.99.
