I am a very newbie in Laptop stuff.
I saw many people here spoke about TV tuner. I have a desktop internal TV tuner, can I just plug in to my future 5670 Sager?
What kind of TV tuner do you guys use? PCMCIA TV Tuner?

Also, I have both Win XP pro and Win 2000 Pro. Which OS should I use? Which one is better?

Thanks for the advices.....

First of all, NO - you cannot plug in a desktop tuner into a laptop; obviously if it is USB-based, you *could* - but USB tuners are notoriously bad.

What people discuss here regarding TV-Tuners are the BUILT-IN tuners in the 8886 and 8887's.

Sager recommends WindowsXP for their laptops (as do everyone else - I'm thinking it's an MS-licensing requirement), however people have had no problems running Windows 2000 on 'em.

Personally, I've gotten used to XP. When XP came out, I didn't like it at all, and I wanted to stick with 2000, but I finally broke down and bought XP...
