Adding internal tv tuner card to g51vx ?

Hello I have a g51vx that I added a bluray drive to awhile ago and now I would like to add a internal tv tuner as well. I seem to recall there being a 2nd mini pci slot for a 2nd card (think it was meant for a bluetooth module) and there is a external port with some sort of bnc coax conection. I was looking at some internal tuners online in paticular this one

Would that fit in the laptop it looks a little long but I might be wrong. I will be doing a lot of work in a remote area and would like to be able to watch TV and since I won't have Internet that rules out Netflix, I have the usb one but it gets a little buggy which is why I want a internal tuner

So I was wrong I opened the laptop and the only pci slot is the one that the wifi card is in
