Win XP or XP MCE?
Is there a difference which one I use for SageTV?

Aside from MCE remote drivers I guess?

Didn't really find any information on the site or forums.

I've set up systems on both and I think a pure XP system is a lot easier. With MCE, it wants to be the DVR software, and you have to disable some processes to get it to run right. Not a big deal, but it's inconvenient.

Thanks. I was about to install regular XP and this made me feel a bit better about it

Just make sure that "regular XP" is Pro.
