Watching TV (select models only)
Your computer may have an integrated TV tuner (select models only), or you may have an optional
external TV tuner, that enables you to watch, record, and pause live TV on the computer. In addition, if
your computer includes an integrated TV tuner, then two remote controls are included in the box with
the computer.

disc playback and can be stored in the ExpressCard slot.

Before you can watch TV on the computer, be sure that you have set up the TV tuner according to the
instructions provided in the printed Notebook Essentials guide included with the computer or in the user
guide included with your optional external TV tuner.
