Windows XP PRO or Windows MCE

[lokodezine]

I am getting a pc thorugh Monarchcomputers.com and was planning on getting a tv tuner for my pc with MCE, but seeing that Monarch does not offer a remote control with their TV Tuners (unless I get the Radeon All Wonder card, but heard that is not that great) I am questioning it.

I will be moving in about a month or two and was plaining on getting a large screen tv, but the only thing that is a plus with the tv tuner on your pc is that you can record shows without having to get tivo, etc.

My question is do the tv tuners that work for Windows XP perform just as well as the ones with MCE?

Also programs that say for OS: Windows 98/2000/XP does that mean they do not work with MCE? or is MCE considered XP?

Also any pros or cons to one or the other?

I don't see why they would operate any differently. The hardware should be the same, all that may be different is the driver to install. However, I may be wrong, but you wanted an immediate response, so I'm just giving you something to think about.

anyone else? What if there is no need for a tv tuner is MCE have anything XP does not? What about getting a TV tuner with XP will it perform just as well with MCE?
