TV tuner support is dependent on how old the device is (i.e., if it's old enough, drivers will come with the OS, basic ones mind you... if it's TOO old, it wont be supported ... if it's newer then you'll have to see the manufacturer)

Generally speaking, see the manufacturer of the TV tuner for OS support.

XN is very much like synaptic or smart where you go to get your software but
for me XN never worked. Even though it was online i never got any updates and updated software that i needed.
