[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 55305, member: 14004"] The 150MCE has a radio, because Microsoft requires cards to be MCE certified to have a radio tuner built into them. My 150MCE has an FM tuner in it. You can use the 150MCE on an OS other than Windows MCE. The only reason the it's called the 150MCE is because it is MCE certified hardware for use in MCE boxes. Hauppauge still has seperate drivers for it on their website for installation on other OS's - XP/2000 As for the black bars running up and down the sides of the screen, I think that's because the dimensions for the mytv plugin were based off the PAL standard. Someone with a PAL tuner card will fill the box up completely, yet those of us with an NTSC card will need to use the "Stretch" aspect ratio to have the whole box filled. Thankfully it doesnt distort the viewing angle, but unfortunatly it wont save your settings and always use stretch the next time you restart MP. It's a minor bug I can live with for the time being.
