    I've seen on the trendmicro.com.au website i can get Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security Pro 2008 (3 PCs) with bonus USB Digital TV Tuner worth $100 for $130.
    I was wondering i the bonus usb tv tuner would be any good. It doesn't say what brand or anything but I imagine just plug in and then i'd be able to get tv on my laptop through media center?
    Am I correct? would the tv reception be any good using that?

    How much is the TV tuner separately? If it's less then I suggest buying it separately and using free firewall/anti-virus/anti-spyware. It would save you money.

    Unfortunately I don't know much about TV tuners. Post you question in the Hardware forum and see if you can get some help there.

    Actually, the accessories forum would be best.

    @Baserk, lately I've notice that too. I can't understand why s-c-r-i-p-t would be censored. Perhaps something to do with coding/embedding?

    I don't know about the TV tuner....but trend micro is terrible. I bought it last year and stopped using it after just a week. Got Kaspersky instead. (works great) expensive though. :)
