If you are in the USA (or Canada) or anywhere using ATSC this device won't receive TV. I haven't tried it with anything other DMR.

I think you will be able to resolve this problem by preventing the included software from launching before Media Center. It sounds like it's launching at startup and getting a "lock" on the tuner so that Media Center can't use it. I've used both software programs in both Windows 7 and 8 without a problem. It could also be a driver issue. If you're using Windows 8, consider upgrading to the latest driver. http://avertv.avermedia.com/Support/Download.aspx?Type=APDriver&tab=APDriver&id=557 .

Yes it works on WIN 8.1 I loaded the included software, but did not try to record. I did try the live TV which it works. I prefer Media Center, it's so much easier & I have two computer so I can copy TV programs between each.

As far as I know the box is designed only for use on a computer running Windows 7 through Windows Media Center.

I have it working with my XP Media Center. XP Media Center "lays" on top of Windows XP so it runs through the XP component. Haven't had a problem with it so far.

I am running Windows Media Center on a Windows 7 Professional machine. All of the Ceton drivers were downloaded from the Ceton website and installed. MCE sees ALL of the tuners and I have recorded 6 shows at the same time. Pretty awesome out of one card.

I know it ships with its own software, but I'm not sure if it will work with media center. I'd check with Avermedia...

I'm running Windows 8.1 upgrade Media Center 64 bit and all is well. I started with the drivers supplied with the card (Windows 8 Pro), but all worked fine when upgraded to 8.1 and then the 8.1 upgrade, and somewhere in between Media Center.

I use media center to interface with the direct TV receiver. If that is still a part of Win 8, it should work just the same.

It works well with windows 7 media center and its own software (Aver media center). I use both almost everyday. Most people with probably use windows media center, as it's very easy to use (kind of like tivo). I like the Aver media center a little better though, because of the many options that it has, which windows media center doesn't. Windows media center has an excellent built-in tv guide. The Aver media center built-in tv guide isn't that good. I got around this by building a customized online tv guide at Titantv. Titantv (online)works extremely well with the Aver media center; it makes setting up tv shows to record very easy.

No. To use a remote with Windows Media Center, MythTV, or whatever you'd also need an IR receiver. I've seen that combo on Amazon for $15.

Yes, it does. Windows Media Player played it though I prefer VLC to play most of my media. Optical drive is a little noisy was what I observed right away.

It runs directly through windows media center... though it has its own software that works ok, though the interface is very basic and clunky. Windows Media Center recognizes it as a Tuner and will automatically search for stations, allow you to exclude the ones you don't want, and then will download the program guide for the next several weeks. You change channels, record programs, review the guide, search the guide, watch programs, and more through WM. I hope this helps...
