    Do you have any exact links ?? Ebay may be good too, but I think I am not getting the search keywords right.

    Newegg definitely has some good deals. If you sort your results by price, look for rebates, which may bring down prices for more expensive units.

    Hey, what I did was did some looking on ebay and bought the angel tuner and the media center remote. I didn't buy them together but, its the same two things that I would've got from dell. Just do some looking around. I ended up getting the two for $50 cheaper then I would've from dell.

    agreed, ebay has alot of the same units that dell provides, plus its nice to know that the media center remote comes with a USB receiver for anyone needing a remote for their desktop setups.

    still, if you didnt get the tuner with your order, i would just go ahead and buy a haupage USB or external, its the same thing or better and costs the same or less.
