    Is it worth getting it? Will it make it more heavier?

    Do you mean make the laptop more heavier? If that's what you meant then the answer is no. The tv tuner is usb external device that is not part of the laptop.

    Those remotes are for the TV tuner. The remote for inspiron is just for the notebook it self.

    I just checked, seems like the added the remotes now. You should still check out my thread to see if you can get a free remote.


    TV Tuner Card, Combo Analog/Digital External USB [add $99 or $3/month1]
    Remote Control for Vista Home Premium [add $29]
    TV Tuner and Remote Control Bundle, for Vista Home Premium [add $125 or $3/month1]

    $29, I think that's the one I got for free.
