I have an XPS 15 (L501X) laptop with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 435M 2GB graphics with TV Tuner. It includes the AVerMedia H339 Hybrid Analog/ATSC with Driver version 2.2.64.64. The driver appears to be up-to-date. The system has 8GB of RAM and an i7-740QM processor. I've connected the over-the-air digital antenna, that comes with the latop, to the system. I followed the setup guide instructions and Windows Media Center instructions to configure the system to be able to receive over the air live digital TV signals. I cannot receive any TV signal, for any channel. Media Center is configured for the TV Signal Configuration "Digital Antenna (ATSC): Digital Terrestrial Lineup (1 tuner)". I live in proximity to New York City so I would not expect signal strength to be an issues. I'd expect to receive some signal. I've tried reconfiguring several times, but get thhe same results. Can anyone help with any suggestions on how I can get this to work? thanks, Rich
I too downloaded and tried media portal. Although it did detect my tuner, it still would not see any video input at all. also, the portal is very complex to set up, and I found it buggy. the main question is: if this thing WILL NOT work as intended, per dell's own manual, then why are they selling the product?
I also tried the avermedia media center >> no go. I dont understand the media centers persistance on setting up the IR, which is for remote control only? its a conspiracy to sell more products that i dont need, like an IR blaster or something. All I want is to hook my Direct Tv box to the tuner in the lap top, thus, Watch Tv while i work, and i have the Direct tv remote to change channels. very simple. (apparently , not that simple). nonetheless, if IR kit is a must, then it should be disclosed by dell, and / or included with the laptop.
My issue was setting up the tv tuner to work with incoming signal from a direct tv set top box, where i can actually see the channel reception, but then i get an error at the end " IR hardware not detected". media center WILL NOT skip that step. Also, even with most IR blasters we will still get that error, as you may know, they do not have software drivers, thus MC will not see it anyway. of course there is one that is usb / software driven, and yes it is sold by MS.
1-) to avoid that: went through the set up, after it searched for signal: click "i will manually configure etc.." >> choose what ever box you have. Satellite or cable. then it will look for specific reception on channels 2, 3, or 4. Note which channel your reception is at, and you WILL get reception.
follow the procedure, clicking no on any additional set ups, or downloads. Go back to Tasks, Setup TV, >> GUIDE. Add channel. Now add the channel that you had signal ON. go to live TV, switch to that channel (2, 3, 4) and you will get TV. done. come to think of it, you can avoid step one, and just add channels, 2, 3 and 4, and one of which will work anyway. Mine is. Good luck
I had the same problem with my card and upon receiving a replacement I opened up my laptop to find that the dopes at the factory didn't hook up the coax lead to the card. I wasted hours on the phone with customer service to find out my problem (there was a language barrier) only to figure out the problem myself.
I briefly spoke to Dell (Aust) support, suggesting that the internal connection of the tv card to the antenna socket was to blame as others have had that problem. They put me on hold for about 5 mins, persumably looking up solutions, but then organised to send out a technician.

How do you go about adding the latest technology tools to every classroom in your district? Methodically, class by class, building by building, with a plan that is continually improved as the changes roll out. This is the formula that Collier County (Fla.) Public Schools used to complete its education makeover. The result: The district is well on its way to transforming each of its 2,500 classrooms with projectors, document cameras, sound systems and interactive whiteboards.
When school officials think about technology in the classroom, the first thing that comes to mind is computers. However, computers are not the only digital tools that have an impact on instruction. Other necessary tools for educators include video projectors, interactive whiteboards, document cameras and classroom sound-amplification systems.
In 2002 Collier County Public Schools, located in southwest Florida, was providing new schools with state-of-the-art equipment as part of construction. This included mounted video projectors, sound systems, interactive whiteboards and digital cameras. Older schools were clamoring just for the video projectors! Discussions centered on developing a comprehensive and realistic plan for retrofitting older schools so that this technology would be available to all students in our schools.
In 2003, the facilities and IT departments started to discuss the possibility of a retrofit. Capital funding was available, and using a centralized approach alleviated the difficulties that individual schools were facing in procuring and installing equipment. Using the expertise of instructional technology, maintenance (A/V) and purchasing staffs, the district evaluated the different brands of video projectors, document cameras and sound-amplification systems. This took time but by going slowly, officials made what they felt were important cost-saving decisions.
The project involves much planning and coordination between IT, maintenance, purchasing, facilities, vendors and, most of all, the schools. In planning, the following needed consideration: wall-plate design; location of video projectors in the ceiling; access to electric and data ports; cabling standards; ceiling plates and video-projector mounts.
Throughout the year, teachers receive support as they use the equipment to provide daily instruction. It is easier than ever to use online resources because the students can all see, hear and understand. Principals are readily seeing the advantages of using this equipment for staff meetings, modeling their expectations for their staff.
ITS officials provide both curricular and technical training to teachers and staff. Training is done after school in a minimum of two-hour blocks. The staff works with each teacher to label the cables and to do the sound and video checks.
Training on the mimio is provided at a separate time after the teachers have used the video projector and document camera for a few weeks. Staff members continue to develop workshops that will take the teachers to the next level of integration based on applying information technology and critical thinking skills to improve student achievement.
The equipment that interacts with the projector, both the document camera and the interactive whiteboard, allows for, among other things, examination of 3-D objects and the manipulation of digital media. Obviously, this project is time- and labor-intensive. However, upon completion, every teacher in the county will be using technology that officials could only dream of a few years ago. It will make technology a seamless piece in classroom instruction. It is a dramatic change for our teachers and they are embracing it.
