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!
