TV Tuner Card
The TV tuner card provided is the HP ExpressCard Analog TV Tuner with a remote control. It is about the same size as the Creative Audigy 2ZS for Notebooks sound card. Supplied accessories include, among others, a coaxial cable attachment, audio/video and S-video cable, and a Media Center remote control.
Installation was a breeze. I was able to connect the cable TV connection in my room to the TV tuner card. Configuring Windows Media Center was also straightforward, and I am able to watch a sitcom or two, while I browse the internet.
