    I added the AVerTV Hybrid NanoExpress ATSC TV Tuner w/ Media Center Remote Control package to my XPS M1530 and I'm having a little trouble setting it up and getting everything connected. Has any one had any success with it? I'm hoping I can watch non cable channels like NBC, FOX, ABC, CBS, etc with the antenna. Thanks.

    Yes it works for me. You have to use it with media center. Just insert the tuner card into the express card slot and connect the antenna and then run the mediacenter setup to get your channels. Depending on how far away you are from the towers that are sending the ota signals, you might need to use a more powerful antenna then the one that was included.

    First make you you have the drivers installed and everything else link747 mentioned already. The only annoyance is that you have to setup your signal again everytime you change from cable to antenna.
