Can I upgrade my Dell Inspiron 3000 SFF desktop computer to install my TV Tuner, Pinnacle card?

I have a previous Pinnacle PCTV digital TV (model #8230 Pinnacle TVC Pro4 SD) tuner card I bought Oct 2008 Best Buy for $88 for my desktop so that Windows XP-which has since died. I want to install in my desktop Dell Inspiron 3000 Form Factor bought February 2015, which has Windows 7 with Windows Media Center, so I can watch TV on my computer screen all working. It did not come with a TV tuner. Is it possible to install a TV tuner in this computer?  I searched the site Web of Dell to nothing does not.

Not that the tuner is obsolete and the small footprint is really tiny and lacks housing for it. A 7-year-old tuner may not work on windows 7 in any case. It does work on Windows 8 in all. All the tv is now digital.

TV tuners are becoming less popular, given that some cable companies have introduced all the channels that you subscribe online. My Time Warner service has all my subscribed channels available online, including local stations and HBO and Showtime. Check with your cable provider to see what is available for you online - a much better picture and easy to use.

  • Scalability of series Dell Inspiron 3000 small

  • Dell Inspiron 3000

    I have a Dell Dimension E520 with Vista.

    I am considering buying a Dell Inspiron 3000.  It is affordable.  I take a lot of pictures (amateur) and a lot of editing.  That's mainly what I use the computer for.  No one knows about it and even if it's not top of the line do you think it would be enough for what I do?  I have very little music.

    Thank you

    I beg of you! do not hesitate to buy it! ;)

    You cannot use the factory recovery partition once you have upgraded to a new version of Windows (including Windows 8.0 Windows 8.1).

    Dell ship no reinstallation DVD with systems and Microsoft do not provide a .iso download for Windows 8.0 or 8.1 Windows for OEM installations.

    If you have not completed the USB bootable Dell backup and restoration in advance before installing Windows 8.1 then your only option may be to install the real installation media, i.e. a reinstallation DVD or USB.

  • Upgrade CPU Dell Inspiron 530?

    I bought a Dell Inspiron 530 in October 2008 (Service tag <> NOTE from the ADMIN: Service tag removed by privacy policy >) and I would like to upgrade the processor. My current processor is an Intel Celeron 450 2.20 GHz. I think that my motherboard is a Foxconn G33M02. (But I am not sure, and I would like to confirm that, so that I don't get an incompatible cpu.)

    What would be a good upgrade from the processor that I can put in my current motherboard? I feel that my current Celeron 450 is a uniprocessor processor, and I would trade out for an important and remarkable improvement with more hearts (at reasonable cost) while keeping the same motherboard.

    I've already updated the PSU for a 460 Watt PSU and have also upgraded the video card. Looking for a good upgrade from the processor. I think I also need to update my bios of motherboard.

    livin2fly

    530 systems were built with two different models of motherboards.

    FoxConn G33m02 [Dell P/N ORY007] motherboard, this version does not support processors Core 2 Quad, only the Core 2 Duo, Pentium Dual-Core and Celeron processors.

    One of the following processors should operate in the 530 Inspiron:

    Intel Pentium Dual Core 2140 (1.6 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Pentium Dual-Core 2160 (1.8 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 (2.5 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 (1.8 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 (2.0 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 (1.86 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 (2.13 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 (2.33 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 (2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)

    Wolfdale Core 2 Duo E8500, 3.16 GHz, 6 MB, 1333 MHz FSB, 65W, C0

    Before installing the processor, that you should check that you have BIOS Version 1.0.15 or above, when support for the new Intel processor has been added.

    Hello

    Look for partition install factory hidden if you have one that it will reinstall to when new.

    Go to start click - technology - law - management - disk management.

    Your h/d would have 2 partitions 1 with letter C: with NTFS file system.

    The hidden restore partition would have no letter and a Fat32 file system with up to 6 GB of space.

    If there is, restart the computer and keep listen them to each of these keys F10 or F11.

    This should start a PC Angel or program ghost that will erase and format the hard drive, then reinstall Vista back to factory settings.

    Interviewed by the program you want to record your data say Yes.

    Navigate your computer manufacturers website.

  • Upgrading processor (Dell Inspiron 5040)

    Hi all...

    I recently bought a laptop Dell Inspiron N5040 with Intel i3 M380 (2.53 GHz) CPU and 4 GB of Ram. Here are my questions to you all:

    1 > is it possible to change the i3 i5 processor? If so, then anyone on this forum did a swap like this before?

    2 > if I can't change the i3 to an i5, is it possible to change the i3 (2.53 GHZ) to an i3 (3.30 GHz). If yes then could you guys give me some information on this?

    It may be a few stupid questions, but I don't know much about the computer's hardware.

    Thank you in advance for your answers.

  • New Dell Ultrasharp U2417H old Inspiron 580 MT desktop computer monitor

    My new monitor has arrived today, but I can't connect it with the included cables. My old Inspiron 580 was purchased in 2010 and my old monitor used the plug VGA.

    The cables provided with the new monitor are the upstream USB 3.0 cable and a DP for CDM cable. It doesn't seem to be a taking of CDM on my desk then, how can I connect the monitor?

    My first question to the seller Dell was "this new monitor would be compatible with my old desktop Inspiron 580, that is, about connectivity?"  He said yes, he would.

    Any help would be much appreciated - but not too technical if you please.
