New TV tuner w/new lap top

[Guest]

I just received my new Dell E1505 w/XP Media Center. I also purchased an
add-on USB TV Tuner w/infrared reader. I have no idea how to set this up or
how it works. I was hoping someone could help me with setting this up and
get me up and running with watching tv through my lap top and recording shows
hopefully.

Instructions did come with hooking this up but were discarded by mistake! I
am struggling with finding any documentation or any information regarding
this tuner that came with my lap top.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Here's a great place to start:

And about half way down the page.... on the left hand side:
How to Setup!

In fact these articles are probably way better than the documentation, so
take a look through them all and have fun!
