    Hi
    I was going to buy some notebook with intergrated tv tuner but new dv line is so sweet I got to have one of this.
    1)Could someone take a picture of this expresscard tv tuner in a dv line? I need to know how it looks in a notebook and I cant find it anywhere.
    2)If there is a tv tuner there is no place for this regular remote control to be put in express card?
    3)and btw are there any rumors of led backlit coming to dv6500/9500? I dont know maybe I should wait a bit longer.
    Thanks

    Well if you're using your TV Tuner, wouldn't you be holding your remote in your hand anyways?

    Absolutely.
    Yes. It works quite well. It'll navigate the menus in WMC and probably do everything you need it to do. My tuner came with a big fancy remote as well, but I've not needed to use it yet.
    Yep. It'll hook up to the analog portion of your cable signal. I have mine hooked up to cable. I've set my notebook up to go into sleep mode when it's not being used and it wakes itself up when it needs to record. The system works surprisingly well. I've got about forty shows recorded and waiting for me to watch them!

    I'd recommend getting the 200Gb hdd if you're going to do much of this.
