    So i bought an ASUS C90 and i am very happy with it, but it doesn't come with an integrated TV Tuner (at least there is no info in device manager, and there is a rubber placed on the connector)

    First of all what do you think of the
    Azurewave DVB-T Hybrid AD-TM500 Freeview & Analogue TV Laptop PCIe Mini Card
    Would it fit on an ASUS C90?

    And, i have heard somewhere, that the antenna used to capture TV from these laptops is the LCD screen, is this true?

    so i could connect the azurewave mini pci-e tv tuner to my own screen to get a tv picture?

    very weird :)

    sorry freelance theres just no enough info yet... supposedly there will be an asus tuner card specifically for the c90 released sometime on the future (dont think i can be anymore vague :p )

    theres also the issue of the mcx conector on ntsc territories, theres the possibilty that a card for the us will never be released.

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=115287&page=9&highlight=c90s+tuner+screen

    so, c90s owners have an integrated tv antenna located within the screen really?

    No.

    When I had said that I didn't have enough knowledge about the C90S. Some laptops, with a built in tuner or some other kind of wireless device, have an antenna that is built into the back side of the screen.

    And as far as I know now, that is not the case with the C90S.
