The only real difference is the drivers that the card ships with. The =
Hauppauge 150-PVR is the exact same card as the 150-PVR-MCE. The driver =
disk that ships with it is different, and the MCE version does not come =
with the Hauppauge remote control (which is not an MCE 2005 remote). =
Additionally, if you're looking at a bundle that includes the Media =
Center remote control, it will have the Media Center drivers.
