Hi, if you figure out how to get your TV tuner to work please share. I have a laptop from dell with the media TV tuner built in and I have had no success with it. What do you all know about the sling box? Would that be a better option for TV? and reccording
thanks'
Lisa

Well. I did pick up a tuner today. And had my sighted friend help me. Needless to say I still cannot watch tv on my pc. I have not given up hope. Now the setup want an IR controler to be part of the whole package. I'm losing my mind. Oh well if I can get this thing working it will all be worth.
thanks guys

Good luck. I feel as if I should have emphasized to make sure you were buying a model with a tv tuner already in it.

Good luck with getting it installed and working with the Media Center software!

Let me know if I can help.

You would think so, but I think you need to separately order either an internal or usb tv tuner card if it's not listed in the specs. Do you see anything from Haugepauge, Pinnacle or the like?

If you need to get a card or usb device make sure it is compatible with Media Center.

Since you ordered from Dell, you should be able to hop on the phone and confirm what's in the box.

Good luck.  Sorry for the problems!

Well I thought the tuner would already be on board since its a mediacenter computer. That's why I'm a little confused.

I also thought to ask if you've got a tv tuner card installed or via usb. The cable connection would attach to that card/device.

Hope it's all working fine by now!

I would guess that it would be somewhere on the back. Is there a panel hiding the bank of connectors?

I just checked on the back of my HP and it is just above the monitor connection.

In thinking about your situation, could it be an HDMI connection rather than a conventional cable connection? I have no idea of what that would look/feel like!

Good luck

Ok. So I got the pc from dell. Now I cannot figure out where to plug in my cable. I don't see anything on here resembling a cable jack. Any ideas?
