[QUOTE="gstanfld, post: 43580, member: 19185"] I have a Dell Inspiron 4150, 1.8 GHz P4 Mobile, 768 MB RAM, and 30GB hard drive. It has one USB 1.1 port, and both PCMCIA slots are available. I am looking for recommendations for a TV tuner card (preferably with an FM tuner as well). Considering the limitations of my USB interface, I'll probably have to go with a PCMCIA model. Also, I live in the U.S., so I'll need NTSC. A card that also does ATSC would be great, but that's probably asking too much. Also, since this is an older, slower laptop, I imagine I'll have to have a card with hardware encoders. Software encoders would probably tax the system too much. Can anyone offer suggestions, tips, tricks, etc., on how I can make this surplus laptop into a functional media center PC? Thanks in advance for your help as well as tolerating such a newbie question. [/QUOTE]
