I'm in the early stages of building a PC with TV tuner card to use as an HDD recorder, I'd like to make this as idiot-resistant as possible so I was thinking of using Windows Media Centre Edition.
However, I'd like to combine this with my current Win2k gateway box (Winroute & USB webcam software) so my questions are :
Can Win Media Centre run all the same programs as XP, or is it so neutered to make all but HTPC functions impossible?
If WMC is incapable of doing what I want, does anyone do a funky, consumer-TV-friendly front end to overlay WinXP and handle all the HTPC stuff?
