Default What do I need for Windows Media Centre?

I may end up getting Vista Home Premium or Ultimate on my PC eventually. However, I know these both have Windows Media Centre in them, and to access this I press the big green button on the remote. However I have a few questions:

1) Does the remote come with Vista when you buy it (I am probably going OEM)

2) How does the remote interact with your PC (IE, does it need an external USB receiver)

3) Are all remotes the same or are they specific to each recevier and inturn each PC?

4) Are there any other special requirements?

5) If I get a TV Tuner card becuase I want to watch live TV on my computer, do I have to connect it to either my satellite dish or the RF socket in the wall which the satellite signal comes out of? If so, is it possible to do this wirelessly, as my Digibox and the signal coming to it are downstairs.


Thanks


Tom
