Watch TV with Media Center¿s MyTV button. Use Media Center¿s TV scheduler to automatically record your favorite TV shows.

Use the included Media Center remote control to control all of the media functions, such as digital picture slide shows, music playlists, etc.
Use Media Center¿s IR transmitter to control the channels on your satellite or cable TV set top box.
WinTV-PVR-150 MC-Kit is the best way to add TV to your Windows Media Center Edition PC. If you have a Media Center PC without a built-in TV tuner, simply plug WinTV-PVR-150 MC into your PC, and you will be watching TV with Media Center¿s MyTV button in no time!
If you already have a TV tuner in your Media Center PC, add the WinTV-PVR-150 MC as the second tuner, so you can watch one analogue TV channel while recording another. Or record two TV shows at once. WinTV-PVR-150 MC is the perfect upgrade for any Media Center PC!
WinTV-PVR-150 MC-Kit comes with a Microsoft certified MC remote control. Control all of Media Center¿s functions with the included remote control. Play music, start a slide show, all from the comfort of your living room couch.
And if you have a cable TV or satellite box, the included Media Center IR transmitter can control the channel changing. So you can automatically schedule and record TV from cable TV or a satellite receiver.
Technically speaking: WinTV-PVR-150 MC contains a highly integrated MPEG-2 hardware encoder, plus a high quality integrated single chip video/audio digitizer. WinTV-PVR-150 MC can record to your PC¿s hard disk full screen video (full D1) from TV or an external A/V source, at data rates from 2 Mbits to 8 Mbits/sec (Media Center supports 3 standard profiles). The encoded MPEG-2 program stream is sent over the PCI bus, where it is stored on the PCs hard disk. The video can also be played back to the PC screen while recording, so you can pause, rewind and fast forward live TV.
