    I am looking at buying a XPS 15. I was wondering is the tv tuner worth it. WHat can you even do with it. If someone owns it can they please post pics. Thank you.

    I dont now what there tv tuner is like but you could go with a usb tv tuner like the Win TV-HVR-950Q for about a $100 you can watch local tv chanels
    with the atena or conect your cable or satlite to get more channels and record them to your laptop like a pvr thers will do the same it may be built in or a usb stik if thers is more than a $100 I would go with this one
