Read your NB's Specifications to make sure you get the right Type of Plug In Card.

Don't use them though - I'm only interested in Analogue (yes folks, they DO still exist!) and DVB signals.

Although it's a standard PCI card fitted to an old tower unit, I'm fairly sure some manufacturer probably produces a similarly-specced 'thumb-drive-size' tuner for laptops.

The tuner card came with functional software for ALL its functions, including control of a motorised satellite (whatever that is).
