regarding my not-so-bothering tv tuner issue:

past few days dell sent me a DHL shipment slip to send my unit back to them without notify me what's going on. during our last email communication which i already post earlier, the issue was left unanswered on the possible cause of action. i was still waiting for them to propose a solution for that up to the moment i received the shipment slip. since nothing is writtenly stated, i just ignore it since im not planning to let my unit go.

today DHL called me asking whether my laptop is ready for collection and i told them i didnt get any solution proposal from dell yet and did not know what will i send my unit over for. i told them i'll clarify things with dell first n will let them know should the package is ready for shipment.
few moments later dell called me and inform me that they would refund me full amount since nothing can be done for the tv tuner.

now, should i do that? i mean i dont need the tuner anyway, it just im looking for compensation of not being able to use it, not like im hating the whole laptop.

Two ways I can look at this issue:

1) Enquire Dell whether compensation or refund for a sinlge component is possible (in this case, the TV tuner).
2) Consider the issue unsolvable and just leave the TV Tuner as it is and tell Dell it's fine (that way you don't have to ship your notebook to them and save you some grief).

after did some googling i come to conclusion that there's nothing wrong about the tuner. it just dell failed to inform us somehow that the tuner only meant for DVB-T format, which is theoritically it should work with RTM's HD transmission.

so i'll give that a shot first, cant seems to get a signal from my house at damansara perdana but someone manage to get the signal at bandar sri damansara.

so as for now im keeping the unit since it's such a great machine. thanks onyx.

Soon all analogue channel would be switched into digital terrestrial signal (DVB-T) in few years time... unless planned to use this laptop for that long period... it's quite worth for investment...

Dell Japan here offered the USB TV tunner instead of PCI-E... with most of the channel in HD mode, it's quite tempting to get 1 and utilize full HD display of this lappy here.

hi add me to ur list of owners..tq

RTM is HD? D:

I tried the tv tuner a about last week, I can get both RTM channels here in Kajang. Main reason why I got it is because I'll be flying to Aussie soon so I thought the tv tuner will keep me company from boredom there. Any owners with tv tuners used it in Aussie before?

currently at jln yap kwan seng, now picking up signal for the TV.

RTM got this trial transmission for HDTV for sometime ago

hmm. anyone has the best way of cleaning off the fingerprint laptop?
can anyone suggest a good headphone, cooler, mouse for this laptop?

Wipe the palm rest area with a moist cloth?
No idea what's the best out there; I have a pair Sennheiser HD 437 headphones, a Cooler Master Notepal W2 and a Razer DeathAdder gaming mouse.
