Query Re: Windows Media Center Edition.

I have Pinnacle pctv Stereo card on my comp.... I have heard of this Media center edition... And want to use it on my PC.
Will it autoconfigure my card and Remote ?
Microsoft site is not informative Regarding this , They Just describe the Media center edition PC's
Anybody out here using Media Center Edition, Help me out...

the pinnacle card will not work with MCE as this card is not supported,MCE supports a limited no of cards,such as those from Hauppage.Instead u can use the pinnacle mediacentre software,available from their site.For the record,i also have a pinnacle pctv card & am running XP MCE.

Windows MCE is ok if you're dedicating this PC for HTPC, else stay away. Waste of money IMHO.
