Pinnacle Systems also released an upgrade product for people who own Windows Media Center PCs called the PCTV MCE Companion. The PCTV MCE Companion brings a TV tuner, MCE remote, and IR transmitter to MCE systems that don’t have these components – and there are more systems without these components than you’d think.

Here are the main features of the PCTV MCE Companion

  • Turns your MCE system into a full featured TV set and FM Radio
  • Turn your PC into a DVR
  • View full screen or partial screen TV
  • Control set top boxes with the IR transmitter
  • Enables featureset found in Windows Media Center such as timeshifting, pause, rewind, and play
  • Record shows to your hard drive in MPEG-1 format
  • Records shows in the destination file format of your choice

The PCTV MCE Companion is being sold for $99.99
