    I've got 2 questions, both dealing with AverMedia TV Tuners.

    1) I was wondering what is the difference between the AverMedia AverTV Cardbus and the AverMedia AverTV Cardbus MCE? I looked on newegg.com and the price difference is about $40, but all it seems to add is an antenna (which would be useful to me, but not work $40), and draws more power from a USB port. Any ideas?

    2) Is the vanilla AverMedia AverTv Cardbus TV Tuner compatible with Windows XP MCE 2005? Because I plan on buying an OEM copy (it's odd that HP doesn't have MCE, when the dv5000z does. I will never understand them) to replace my bum Home Edition. I've read around and I've only seen "XP Certified" whereas the MCE edition gets the "MCE 2005 Certification". What's the big difference? I would really like to get the cheapest one possible but still want to use Media Center.
