===== Part 3 =====
The Tuner-Story:
Before reinstalling my computer i gave the tuner a quick try and watched some minutes of netherland's digital TV, but as I did not understand the Online-manual of the tuner-suite clearly, I couldn't switch it to German parameters. (it is a multi-band, hybrid-tuner and should be able to work on any ether... by the way)

After German Reinstallation, besides of the tuner, all devices were working: the FN-Key, the AV-Bar, the card-readers and even the N-Type WIFI, but I soon found out that Sony had built in some breaks to keep international users from get the Tuner working. The hotlines did not provide any support as soon as i mentioned the word "tuner".

So I googled and soon found out that the device is the so called "one-seg-tuner" (aka oneseg, 1-seg, 1seg...) and that is is rarely used: only on a playstation-mod, and on the TZ. Damn! So there are NO reference drivers, and not even the windows-media-edition would neither recognize nor identify the tuner and show a picture...
