Windows Media Center - no internet tv option

verbalizer

Distinguished
two computers same router.
one unit has the option for internet tv - windows media center
the other unit does not have that option.
both WIN7-ult.
both units have tv cards with active coaxial but with internet tv, it shouldn't matter.
I have comcast with on-demand boxes in the house, connection to computers is analog.
why does this one computer not have the option.?
updates were ran and I'm out of ideas.
