    Is the TV tuner internal?? does the remote use a plug in dongle for IR? I have an XPSgen2 with 2gb and Mediacenter 2005 and didn't ave enough for the tv tuner/remote. So is it enternal? how does it work?? If it is external what brand is it and what is recomended? I would preferibly like a remote that doesn't need a doongle as it travels easyer. I am going to get the dock/laptop stand for home, but plan on using the remote , both home and on the road. :cool:

    Primary is mobil gamming, but I wouldn't mind being able to use it for TV/or with remote, for movies. Is the tuner internal?? Does the remote work without a usb dongle? Already have Mediacenter version of OS, The controls seem typical MS, ie they don't work, ie playing a movie in mce click the slider bar, nothing, forward, and back, buttons nothing. Does it only work with tuner? Is the tuner internal? Is it worth it?
