Hauppauge Digital has released two new upgrade packages for Windows Media Center Edition 2005 (MCE) into the UK market. The new MCE packages include a TV tuner and a Media Center remote control, providing everything required to add TV capabilities to a Media Center PC.

The two Hauppauge WinTV packages are the PVR-150MCE, an analogue terrestrial TV tuner and remote bundle, and the HVR-1300MCE, a hybrid analogue/digital terrestrial TV tuner and remote bundle. The packages are priced at £79.99 and £99.99 inc VAT respectively.

The packages, available end November will appeal to PC owners who need to upgrade to Microsoft’s Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE) 2005 without buying a new PC.

“Windows XP Media Center Edition continues to increase in popularity, but the upgrade path can be expensive,” commented Yehia Oweiss, Managing Director of Hauppauge Digital. “The PVR150-MCE package represents terrific value, including the on-board MPEG encoder and an MCE remote and receiver. An XP upgrade is all that needs to be added.”
