    Yes, the AR150G does have an integrated TV tuner.

    For some reason I can't get the page to load, but I think I remember seeing that spec page before. I can't answer why Sony doesn't mention the TV tuner on that page.

    The AR170 is a configurable model sold only by Sonystyle. If you go to the configure page for that model, you'll notice that it says XP media center edition with NTSC TV tuner. Go to Office Depot or Amazon.com's site to see the specs for the AR150, which is not sold by Sonystyle, only retailers other than Sony, and it will show that the AR150 does have the TV tuner. I believe that the only AR model that does not have the tuner is the AR130. I'm not familiar with the new Core 2 Duo's yet..so I can't comment on those. Hope that helps.
