We use a Cable Card enabled network TV tuner (like one you would install in the computer from Hauppauge or whatever) but it's hooked into your home network and is detected as a network hardware device that you install drivers on your PC for. That's the "cable box" and WMC is the front end for it. So think of the network tuner as the physical cable box and WMC as the software installed on the cable box that delivers the interface to you TV. The best example of what we use that is actually used right now in a set top box is U-Verse. U-Verse is WMC installed on a cable box. For remote control, I just use the old WMC remotes w/ IR receiver that hooks into the computer via USB.
