Guys... Even I hav a HCL computer preloaded with Windows MCE... And the vendor did not supply any bundled TV tuner card with it... I hav a genuine OEM version of Windows MCE... I saw the previous thread too... So I don't think if a computer comes bundled with MCE it should necessarily have a TV Tuner Card along with it...

The vendor suplled the remote and infrared sensor with my system...

OEM of Media Center Edition..... comes with or without TV Tuner on the machine....
Earlier TV Tuner used to come inbuilt with Media Center machine... but with Media Center Edition 2005, a MCE machine can be with or without TV Tuner.

Yeah... that's wat I was tryin to explain "Eureca Eureca"...

It's not really necessary to hav a TV tuner card that has MCE
