anyone use it with a tv tuner and actually allowed to watch TV on it?

Apparently (after some research on hauppauge's site) you need to have a MCE decoder to watch TV. (I am guessing its $$ after the fact).

so WTF do I need to watch TV on this "simple media center" software that should include everything for a HTPC?

Yes, MCE doesn't come with a decoder, you have to buy one. Nice of them. Was even nicer when I bought the PVR-150MCE and neither had it.

well I tried nvidia pure video trial...actually watched (and recorded) some TV.

$20 is how much it is for the basic version. gotta love MS even more with these hangups.
