    Like the topic says, I need help fellas.

    Avermedia M10C

    I'm looking for this card to stick into my NP9262. I bought a miniPCI-E tuner only to find out, after popping off the keyboard, that the miniPCI-E slot was taken up by the WIFI module and the only free slot was a miniPCI slot.

    But all was not lost. I looked up on Avermedia's site and they have a miniPCI ATSC tuner called the M10C.

    However, finding this card has been hard. Well, I haven't found it yet.

    If anyone knows of any place that might have them or if YOU have one for sale or anything, please reply and let me know.

    Thanks.

    Hmm, I did a couple Google searches and I've come to the conclusion that in the very rare event that you could find this device, it will be prohibitively expensive. Mini PCI TV tuners as a whole seem to be in very short supply; I was only able to find a single such device for sale, and it costs a fortune:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/MiniPCI-Hardware-MPEG2-Encode-with-TV-Tuner-_W0QQitemZ360076008819QQcmdZViewItem

    I'd say you aren't going to find this an should look for a USB solution. You can also buy a mini PCI wireless card and then use the mini PCIe slot for the TV tuner instead. Not 100% sure if that will work, but I think there's a good chance, and it'll probably be a lot more practical than searching for this thing.

    EDIT: 2666 :D

    Thanks wolf. I got a message back from Avermedia saying the M10C is for ODM's only. Looks like I'm out of luck....I wanted an internal one so I can use the coax ports built into the NP9262.

    Another thread by someone posted that he came across a
    A.OPEN- COMPONENTS 90.MPC46.0310
    It's supposedly another miniPCI atsc tuner. But it seems this is just as hard to find.

    Thanks for the reply!
