You don't currently get a media center remote with your system that you buy. But you can buy the remote seperate from the Dell accessories section or at a good computer store online or a computer store in your kneck of the woods.

If you order the computer with a tv tuner, it will have a remote.

ok so i purchased a new Dimension 9200 w/ the ATI 256MB TV Tuner card.   Dell did not send any documentation on the Tuner or the remote.  Hookin up the remote s/b easy enuf:   - connect infrared reader to USB port - put battery in remote and you're set!   BUT   there's another piece that came with the Remote Kit: the only way i can describe it is as an 1/8' inch jack (similar to headphone/audio) with a little red diode on the end of it.  what the heck does thsi do and who can support the endless questions i have about my Windows Media Center (i.e. instructions on the PVR function, etc).  The Dell guy told me to call MSoft (1-877-335-5767) and the MS dude said they don't support any serials with 'OEM' (givewawy that it was a Dell license).   how can i use the Media Center (Centre) and watch TV but keeping the TV 'always on top'?  this was a function of my old AverMedia card (circa '98)...   help is much appreciated!   the brother
