>>It remains to be seen how many consumers with the Media Center software on their PCs will actually use it and few homes have networks that are fast enough to effectively link Media Center PCs with TVs and other gadgets.<< My new computer has has the Media Center version of Windows. It's indistinguishable from the home and professional versions, to my eye. I considered but ended up not getting a tuner for it. I don't think that technology is ready for prime time yet. I actually called the Dell salesperson to discuss the tuner. I'm running wireless to the internet. The salesperson said that to take advantage of the tuner I'd need to use the wired cable connection. With that constraint, I couldn't see the point of it.
