No it uses you pc as a enterainment centre, so you will need a PC with a decent TV card and a internet connection for the Tv listings. You then also need a TV output from the pc to your tv. If you want remote functions, you have to buy an add on and a remote control, it fooking expensive :(. I was looking at this, to build a HTPC that acts like a sky+ box, but just for the TV side of things it would have cost me nearly 400 quid (70 for the remote and infra-red pc connection, 250 for the sky digital card and the rest on a decent graphics card for the tv output). Ontop of this you need a decent pc :(

There are far better programs though if your really serious about building a HTPC system, ones is called MythPC, but it runs on linux. Also to get the most out of a HTPC system you need digital TV and the only digital TV cards you can get for a pc are a freeview jobbie or a DVB (basically sky) card, both are around the 150-250 quid mark.

yeah, and it has and remote learner software that lets you program in the buttons on the remote to work with it, and guess what my phone has a universal remote program so I'll be teaching it that :D

From this program you can;

Watch TV
Record TV to Hard Drive
Play DVD's
Play MP3's
Play CD's
View Pictures
and has a tv guide
