The tuner takes the place of the floppy drive in the internal bay. If you look at a 750 or 755, there is a removable plastic insert on the left side. This is taken out and provides the port for the external receiver and the video input. There is also a removable insert around the mouth of the floppy drive slot which is removed and provides a panel for tuner control. After you install the tuner, you install a BIOS update which autosenses whether you have the floppy drive or the TV tuner inside. When the laptop is booted with the tuner pack, it operates like usual until the power switch for the tuner is pressed. Then the tuner takes over the display panel. This is an important point -- the video image does *not* appear in a window, it takes over the entire screen. Windows applications still function, they just do not display on the LCD panel. BTW, this means that the although the video is being digitized (instead of passing it analog direction to the LCD panel), it cannot be captured. TV reception is provided by a weird looking external receiver with suction cups intended for mounting. Reception is acceptable, but not outstanding. The video quality is reasonably good, but I found the colors looked artificial with skin tones on a 750c/755c due to the limitations of the 8-bit RAMDAC. My feeling was that it was _not_ worth the original price of $1,995, but I might reconsider with the $399 price tag. Robert
