What kind of TV card did you get?

Does it have an input for a cable signal?

It should be a plug and plag device. Have you installed it yet?

After you install it, let it go through all the motions and then re-start. The program is probably already in the system. After installation, just plug the cable in and go from there.

ask them if there is a way to download the program onto your computer and have them send you the disc anyway.

While you are at it, tell them how much of a loyal customer you are and see if you can sweet talk them into getting you some free stuff:-)

They usually do, free anti-virus, movie editing software, etc.lol!
