    USB is probably gunna be the only choice other then pc slot thingy. I'm probably gunna get one too, i'd get mine integrated, but i don't have an extra 150, so i'm getting a Kworld Xpert, its only $19 after $40 rebate on newegg!

    Don't worry tv tuner isn't integrated even on the popular Inspiron 9300. Atleast according to what I've read it isn't. It's also an external usb so for now just find a usb one. I think many come with remotes as well even though they probably aren't the nice ones that fit inside your pcmcia slots like the new though ridiculous no windows boot up dvd laptops.

    The best USB unit is the Hauppage product.
