Notes:
1. Canadian version with French/English documentation
2. To receive clear QAM digital cable TV, you will need to use Windows Media Center from Windows 7, the Hauppauge WinTV v6 or WinTV v7 application, SageTV or BeyondTV.
3. The Media Center kits and Media Center boards do not include an MPEG video decoder. If you are using Windows 7 Media Center, Vista Media Center or have a Media Center PC, it has come with a Microsoft certified Media Center MPEG decoder pre-installed. If you are using Windows XP, you will need a video decoder to watch TV under Media Center!
