    Does any know if the Asus G1s will have a TV tuner option? As in, I would be able to watch TV from my laptop? If not, then will the G2s have that option? I really like the idea of having a TV tuner in my laptop. Thanks.

    i'm not sure if it will come with one, but you can get a tv tuner expansion card that will fit in the pcmcia slot.

    It can't, due to the lack of space and ports for one if I recall correctly.

    The G2s is larger, and if I recall, the A7 had a TV tuner, so I think it does.

    the G2 has the tv tuner (empty) bay now including the external ports for coaxel and the antenna

    I have the internal tuner part number, just need to go order it
    I suspect the G2s will be the same

    I don't know if it fits. Asus built a Z84J with TV turners.. i can't firgure out which card did they use or it's their own development with Avermedia for an onboard chip.

    On the Asus Website it says that both the F3Sv and F3Sc will come with TV tuners.
