Okay I saw this really really really good TV Tuner that I want and I will have, but it says it requires Windows XP Media Center Edition. Now me, I'm thinking that's bullshit I'll just use the regular Windows XP. I've read all about the crap it's just the same as the Pro version except without a couple of things. Now my question is for a real tech head. Do I really need to buy the Windows XP Media Center Edition?

Product Name and Model Number would help..
Generally, you should be safe.. But you never know.. I know a few cards that refuse to run in Windows XP because it was designed for MCE 2005, and I know some cards that work just fine..

It will work with XP Pro. Just download the latest drivers from the website prior to plugging it in.
