Hi, I've had an Acer 5633 since 2007, it's the one with the Nvidia graphics and Web cam. For a number of years I have been curious about the umused pci slot next to the cpu I assumed it was for a TV card. This is supported by the fact that there is a tv card driver listed among the drivers for this model. I believe the tv tuner is a Avermedia M115s-b. So I bought one and fitted it, the thing is now what, I presume that I connect a wire to the little wifi antenna style stud fixer. Will a wifi antenna wire do or do I chop it bare the end and solder that to a rf plug. Does the tv card automatically turn on when I channel scan with Microsoft media player or do I need the Avermedia player that I have seen mentiomed in relation to the Aspire 5600u. I have done a few upgrades to this latop, new cpu T7400 2.16ghz, 4 gig memory, changed the awful logitech or bicameral to a crystal eye (much better). Any help getting this tv card working would be appreciated as well as advice on any other upgrades such as adding Bluetooth.
I just need to say I have spare wifi antennas, I didn't mean using one of the installed wifi antennas.
