    These tuners should have a build in aerial, or dell should have supplied a mini one. Assuming the TV tuner is a build in one not an external (USB? expresscard?) one that Dell supplied.

    i don't think you ordered a TV Tuner... the m1530 doesn' have one built in, and dell might sell expresscard or USB tuners with the laptop, but don't see any info of that in your config
