[QUOTE="oldyellow, post: 31828, member: 17727"] I am new to HTPC in general and am looking to convert an existing PC into an HTPC for as little additional investment as possible. Last night I downloaded and installed MediaPortal and have pretty much decided to go that direction. Could someone be kind enough to answer the following questions for me?. Thanx in advance. 1. Do I need to have Windows Media Center Edition to use a MCE Remote? I noticed that a lot of people claim to be using a MCE remote, but I don't know if those people are using WinMCE or WinXP (or even Win2K). I have WinXP home and don't intend invest in a new operating system. 2. I'm thinking about buying a Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150. Should I get the MCE version or not (considering that I don't have WinMCE)? If the MCE version gets me the a MCE remote and the MCE remote can be used with WinXP, I would rather go that way. But I don't know if the WinTV PVR-150 MCE version works with WinXP. On Hauppauge's web site, they state that MCE versions of there other products (350 & 500) don't need WinMCE. However, the wording on the PVR-150 is a little different (and the box certainly states the WinMCE is a requirement). Is anyone using or knows of someone else using a WinTV PVR-150MCE with WinXP?
