what's the crack with these sticks. Do you need any special software to watch digital TV on a pc wiht this stick?

What are the pro's and con's of these over a tv card.

I was looking at getting this one

I'd also like to know, can they be used with MCE edition using the built in windows software?

They come with the software needed but its prob worth downloading the latest stuff from there site.

Only real diff would be that you can use it in different machines without having to take the side off ya case.

The internal card would more than likely include a remote.

But the one your looking at is out of stock and has been for some time.
