    Im looking for a decent and cheap TV tuner for my M570ru, any1 know brand names, model #s, or at least specs I should be looking at?

    Has to be mini PCI-e (same socket as the wifi card).

    contact your vendor.

    I am somewhat confused since these are the exact mini-PCI TV Tuners thats in the M570RU manual.

    Check it out.

    But there are more than 1 revision of the mainboard, I've seen some tv tuners available in pci-e mini cards, but I'd like to know about other brands and have different choices.

    Thats one using mini pci-e interface.

    I think if you have a look at the Clevo site you will realise that you have a Clevo M571RU, which has different slots. The slight difference in name might help you get some better responces.

    My motherboard has 2 identical PCI-e sockets (both fit the 4965AGN card)... does that mean its an older version and I cant fit turbo memory?
