yeah, and it has and remote learner software that lets you program in the buttons on the remote to work with it, and guess what my phone has a universal remote program so I'll be teaching it that 
From this program you can;
Watch TV
Record TV to Hard Drive
Play DVD's
Play MP3's
Play CD's
View Pictures
and has a tv guide

No it uses you pc as a enterainment centre, so you will need a PC with a decent TV card and a internet connection for the Tv listings. You then also need a TV output from the pc to your tv. If you want remote functions, you have to buy an add on and a remote control, it fooking expensive  . I was looking at this, to build a HTPC that acts like a sky+ box, but just for the TV side of things it would have cost me nearly 400 quid (70 for the remote and infra-red pc connection, 250 for the sky digital card and the rest on a decent graphics card for the tv output). Ontop of this you need a decent pc
There are far better programs though if your really serious about building a HTPC system, ones is called MythPC, but it runs on linux. Also to get the most out of a HTPC system you need digital TV and the only digital TV cards you can get for a pc are a freeview jobbie or a DVB (basically sky) card, both are around the 150-250 quid mark.

just found some mods for it that include IE and Windows media player in it, so that's everything on your TV
all the colours are fully customisable
