Plug an aerial into it and launch win media centre, and let it auto detect the local dvb-t and/or analogue signals.

1175955 2011-02-07 09:09:00 You wont get sky. You may get freeview, if its a DVB-T tuner. If not, you'll have to buy a USB DVB-T tuner Speedy Gonzales (78)
1175956 2011-02-07 11:01:00 Start WMC, goto settings and set it up. If it doesn't detect a tv card then check your device manager.

You MAY have an internal dvb-t/analog receiver, to check start > control panel > hardware and sound > Device manager... it might be under Sound, video and game controllers

1175958 2011-02-09 09:25:00 "Hybrid TV Tuner (analog / DVB-T) with remote control" is part of the specs. according to top entry in Google search. Maybe the TV remote might have given it away? PPp (9511)
