What is the difference between media server and xp pro?

I know that media server cannot be used with a domain controller.

I am interested in adding a tv tuner card to a unused xp pro box and using that as an extra tv. Will xp pro support a remote if one doesn't come with the card? I noticed that there is a remote that comes with / works with xp media server.

I'm not keen on buying a licence for media server, card, remote etc. as I can just buy a tv with that kind of money... know what I mean?

Thanks for your advice,
Kevin Howell
