    When I ordered my 1520 I got the TV Tuner with the VISTA remote. I had to "upgrade" to Windows XP but now I have a problem. When I was using Vista I used Windows Media Center to access the TV Tuner but now I don't know what program I can use. Dell offers drivers for it and I've got it installed it's hooked up and ready to go. I just need the right software to use. Any help? Is there a Media Center for XP that I can dl?

    Thanks,
    -Taylor

    I believe you can purchase an XP Media Center disk (check Newegg, although I'm not entirely positive it exists), or perhaps MediaDirect, WMP or iTunes will do the job?
