No it would be a WMC box.

I wouldn't swap TiVo for MCE (although MCE might have improved since I last used it). Also one of TiVo's features I like the most - suggestions - seems to be unique to TiVo. I love the fact that I don't have to set up lots of recordings, just teach it my likes/dislikes and it'll record plenty of programs to watch, without too much effort on my part. It's strange that more set-top boxes haven't copied this feature
You do realise the MCE XP is 10 years old right?
