    Maybe this isn't the right place to ask this, but I just ordered my 1530 on Sunday and I'm wondering if I should have ordered the TV Tuner. Here is a pic from Dell's site:

    What I'm wondering is where on the laptop would this stick out? I looked at your pics and I can't figure out where this would fit and if it would be all sticking out somewhere. Anybody know?

    JakeInOct,
    the Dell website states: "TV Tuner Card, Combo Analog/Digital External USB"
    You see the wrong picture. The picture shows a PCI TV tuner card.
    (I don't know though what kind of TV tuner card they should ship.)

    Thanks for the replies. So it's external, which means I can just get one at any time if I decide I need it, right? That's good to know.

    are you talking about deleting ur vista account?

    i have a prob with my desktop that when i log in, it still shows my old xp account so i have to baby it and wait for this screen to pop up and thenchoose which os i want to use. of cours the xp doen't work any more cause the os is long gone. just annoying. do you know how to get rid of that?
