    Did anyone get a system with the TV tuner?

    I was curious about how it works? I can't find any info on add it on an already assembled model, only reason I looked is my L501X was built as a replacement so they wouldn't allow extras.

    Same situation here.. couldn't add it even if I wanted to pay :confused:

    Info is available from the Dell site, select the model, on the left click on Service Manual -> Online -> TV Tuner Card (or somehting like that!) It looks pretty fiddley though.. not just a case of popping the bottom cover and plugging it in anyways!

    I was told that I would need to call sales and arrange for purchase of the 'part' itself. You won't be able to order it directly off the Dell website.
