That is NOT a tuner.
That is a remote control Infrared receiver.
You need a USB tuner such as:

This is a kit for Media Center.

This one is the USB tuner by itself.

They are others, search Google for USB tuners.

OK, I've discovered that what I have is an external TV tuner - the Philips
OVU4120, in fact
(http://www.remotecontrol.philips.com/index.cfm?act=dspProduct&productUUID=EBFA4D66-9EA5-5931-EC4A4F9AE14066DF&segmentUUID=2599F159-B824-8AE6-14B94D15FC6DDA22&id=1223),
and although I seem to have plugged it in and connected it, Windows Media
Center still won't find any TV channels, and I can't find any drivers or
anything like that anywhere on the Philips website.

Go to your OEM's or TV tuner card manufacturer's website and download and
install the latest driver.

I'm rather at a loss as to how to set my PC (Windows Vista Ultimate) up
to
watch TV. I've bought a PC that (apparently) came with a TV tuner card,
and
on top of that I bought a remote, which also comes with a white thing
with
a
USB cable and another little wire with a red thing on the end that you
presumably plug into the white thing.

Anyway, I plugged the white thing into a USB port on my PC and Windows
told
me that it had downloaded drivers and that everything was fine. I then
plugged the other wire (with the red thing) into the socket on the
white
thing which read "IR1" (there's also an "IR2") and put my batteries
into
the
Vista Remote, but when I tried to go through the whole first-time
set-up
for
Windows Media Center, it did not find any services after its scan and
so I
can't watch TV at the moment.

Please help!
