    you can, I am using VBOX USB ATSC, tuner to watch HD channels, but you need to uninstall Acer Arcade MC plugin.

    I need to figure out how to make them run side by side because it has HD-DVD player builtin

    Instead of tv options, I have some Acer Arcade that takes residence in Media Centre.
