The Media Center products from Hauppauge (for example, the WinTV-PVR-150 or the WinTV-PVR-150 MCE-Kit) do not include an MPEG video decoder. If you have a Media Center PC, it comes with a Microsoft certified Media Center MPEG decoder pre-installed.
If you are building a new Media Center PC, please check with Microsoft for a list of certified MPEG decoders. YOU WILL NEED A MICROSOFT CERTIFIED MEDIA CENTER MPEG DECODER TO WATCH TV!
Any of the Hauppauge WinTV MCE-Kits also include a certified Media Center remote control.
The WinTV-PVR MCE products only include the board plus driver, and do not include the remote control.
