Unless your computer has a tuner board, the only TV you can watch is the same internet TV you can watch without MCE. Where MCE shines is if you have a TV tuner in the computer. Then you can use the computer to watch and record TV. The computer can be used as a DVR. The TV guide provided with MCE is excellent and time shift recording is very easy to set-up.

Windows Media Center allows one to play video files, though this can be done with other applications. It also includes Windows Movie Maker. Other video-making software exists, such as Final Cut Pro, but Windows Movie Maker is good enough for most cases and conveniently free (as part of Windows Media Center). The greatest advantage of Windows Media Center may be its ability to play, pause, and record live television. Overall, Windows Media Center is hardly unique, but convenient.
