    1.what do you think about the HP Express Card TV tuner if you have it?
    2. What would be some good alternatives to the HP Express Card TV tuner?
    3. will the NVidia geforce go 6150 be ok if i'm not going to be playing games, but i will be watching TV and Movies on it?
    4. Is the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 better than the Nvidia Geforce Go 6150? or vise versa?

    1. I used it with an HP dv8000t I tested. It was pretty good; easy to set up, integrated with Media Center flawlessly, decent quality picture.
    2. You'll have to research that one. Most of the TV tuners you will find will be USB.
    3. Yes.
    4. Vice Versa.
    Yes, I used it with DirecTV with no problem.
