Why did they put a tv tuner in my laptop?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I ordered my 5500 about 6 months ago. I did not order a tv tuner but they installed the internal part of the tv tuner and that is it. If I go to start, programs, there is a tv tuner section. In it i have hardware configuration, software configuration, and uninstall tv tuner. They did not send me anything to use externally. Why would they install half a tv tuner when I did not order it?????? Did anyone else have this problem?

The build in TV Tuner is standard with the new mobos of the 5500.
I for example don't have one 'couse I have mine since nov 2003. If the M9800 upgrade comes for the 5500 (still hoping) I'll have to send my baby to the depot for a mobo upgrade and most likely I'll have a TV Tuner too
(although it'll be no use for me - stupid PAL/NTSC differences).

If thats the case, there is no documentation on how to use this thing. I have tried to configure it but I can never get anything to show up on screen as far as a tv channel or anything.
