F20-137: TV Tuner does not work on MCE

I just purchased a Qosmio F20-137 and when I set up the TV Tuner (DVB - T) I had no problem. However when I try to watch TV on Media Center he frequently stutters and loses its signal (about once every 2/3 minutes). I tried a couple of different antennas ready (DVB - T), but the problem persists.

I thought it was due to the TNT being strong enough signal. However I recently bought a £45 Freecom (DVB - T) usb to my desktop and it rarely or never stutters or loses its signal. The USB device does not work on the Qosmio so that I couldn't try on that.

Is that what this indicates that there may be a problem with my laptop? Or can anyone suggest a possible solution to the problem?

Thank you

Hello

Well, it s a strange question.
Have you tried to watch TV via Qosmio player?
In my opinion, you should check if this problem occurs when the Qosmio player.
Please check.

Good bye

  • On my Satellite A660 TV tuner does not work

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A660-07 one a few months ago and then reinstalled Windows 7 32-bit system in order to have more than a few partitions. But I had not deleted the hidden partition the system just in case I need to restore factory settings.

    Now I have moved to a remote area and need a TV but only to discover that the tuner did not work. It is detected correctly under sound devices and games in the Device Manager. However, when I use windows media center to scan channels. The WMC just says the software has encountered a serious error and try again.

    Then I tried to use Blaze DTV, which is also a very popular DTV software. Successfully, it recognizes the Tuner but will not scan either.

    I did some research and used the advocatus of configuration of the tuner TV in Windows 7. The warning message is that "the tuner is not properly configured to be used in Windows Media Center". And the details show that the tuner is plugged but not active for the WMC.

    But how do I then activate the tuner for WMC?

    Really hope that someone can help as I am now panic in a small town remote in New Testament.

    Thank you!

    I see a big problem here. If you have installed your own version of Windows then you will not be able to start the installation of image factory more.
    Due to this fact Toshiba strongly recommends the creation of recovery DVDs. It is described in s operating manuals.

    In any case, one question at first: you've found the right 32-bit driver TV tuner? TV tuner is installed correctly?

  • Qosmio G20-139 of the United Kingdom - TV tuner does not work in Libya

    Hello

    My name is m, k, sh I live in Libya.
    I bought Qosmio G20-139 until now it works normal but I would not use this pc to look at the possibility of using satellite channels. I get only the small screen in the screen of my pc.

    In the operating manual of the said (tv tuner may not only work in the country of purchase. means to the United Kingdom only)
    My equation, what can do to solve the broblem.

    Can I install any software for example or another TV tuner?
    The tv tuner in this pc, what they said is integrated.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I think that the UK tuner will not work in Libya due to different video standards. I m talking about different settings PAL and NTSC.

    In your case, it would be desirable to use an external USB DVB - T tuner (if DVB - T is available in Libya) that supports PAL/NTSC in Libya settings.

    I think you have to look at some stores for local laptop/computer and should ask a few merchants for details.

    All other works of PCMCIA cards.

  • Satellite L20-183: PCMCIA Pixelview Tuner does not work with 720 * 480

    I have the following problem:
    I am the owner of a

    Toshiba laptop Satellite L20-183 (1.6 Celeron, 512 MB Ram, Ati radeon Xpress Mobile X 200)

    I just bought a
    Mobile TV Tuner PCMCIA (Prolink) Pixelview PlayTV havig the following specifications:
    http://www.ProLink.com.tw/English/products...ixelView%20Play TV%20Mobile.htm

    as you can see it it says he works at the frame size PAL: 720 x 576; NTSC: 720 x 480

    which is true, but not with my laptop
    It is functional on a laptop HP Celeron 2.8 Mhz, 512 Ram and Ati 9100 IGP

    on my laptop, it only works to the minimum framerate 320 * 288 (as I remember), but then the passage to the maximum framerate of 720 * 480 there are artifacts (horizontal lines) on the right size of the screen.

    I say it again on a similar notebook (talk configuration) with ATI 9100 IGP it works perfectly at maximum framerate.

    Someone told that can a card linked to overaly settings video problem, but it unlikely for me as long as lon semms as he worked on another laptop with ATI IGP 9100, which seems to be older than my video card. (By the way all the parameters and options are the same on two laptops)

    SOMEONE HELLLPPPPP!

    Hello
    Check the BIOS on the toshiba. BIOS in the video settings, there should be a possibility to change the PAL or NTSC. If the value is NTSC I see problems that you described. So as if you right-click on the desktop and select Properties, click on the tab on the far right, a last and properties then go to advanced. Under these properties, it must have an option to NTSC or PAL. Make sure that PAL is thus selected here and see if that solves the problem. I hope this helps.

  • Qosmio G35 - AV600 the TV Tuner does not work in Argentina?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I think that this problem is related to the NTSC / PAL settings.
    The TV tuner equipped in the notebook for a U.S. market supports only NTSC and this could be the cause of your problem.

    Here is a link to an article in Wikipedia on the PAL:
    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL

    There, I found this:
    + In Argentina, the PAL - Nc (combination N) variant is used. It employs the line field 625/50 per second waveform of PAL-B/G, D/K, H, I, but with a frequency of 3,582 MHz chroma subcarrier. +.

    Here is my desktop specs:

    model of motherboard is asus b85m-k

    Hello Faysal,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    As described in the question, I understand that your two cards of Gadmei USB TV Tuner does not work on your Windows 7 desktop. The same card works fine on another computer in Windows 7 with the same configuration.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

    1. What happens when you plug-in card TV Tuner? Your computer will detect the device? Do you have a code or a message when it fails to connect?
    2. Did you check connecting them via a different USB port?

    There may be a possibility that drivers for Gadmei TV sticks are not correctly installed on the computer. We will try these methods below and check if that helps.

    Method 1:

    First of all, I suggest you to run the following Microsoft Fixit to get the problem diagnosed and fixed automatically.

    Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows

    http://Support2.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems?WA=wsignin1.0

    Method 2:

    If the fixit above does not resolve the problem, I suggest to download the best compatible driver on the device manufacturer (Gadmei) site or contact Gadmei to get the best driver for your computer and install it.

    You can also read the article below to help update the device driver.

    Hello friends, wise

    My machine is a Satellite P305-S8832 (three months) Windows Vista Home Premium fully updated and virus-free. Everything except the tuner FM works fine. In fact, the Fm tuner to work initially. I had not used for the two last month and today, whenever I start the application of FM tuner, it happens, but there's no signal no matter which radio station or I get out all the sounds. I reinstalled the application using the provided by Toshiba Recovery DVD, but nothing takes place.

    I went to the Toshiba site to search for an updated driver, but the site is inaccessible for maintenance :-(. Search Google doesn't have something useful.

    my phone does not work after last update itunes on my phone connection with my pc, it shows only i tunes icon and the application of itune on my pc does not work

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Qosmio F20 - WiFi does not work

    I have a Qosmio F20 and recently wi - fi would not work att all or don't work only very rarely. Couple that with the fact that Norton Internet Security has recently kept maxing out the cpu then we disabled from running in the background.

    We tried to set up the network again, we took all the security on the router but Tosh will only see the network if it is directly connected to our router linksys with ethernet cable.

    I took the step of disabling the adapter wi - fi built-in and loading top/installation of the linksys phone adapter that we use for our other laptop HP (older). Even that kept dropping out, connecting for a few seconds at a time, but it was beautiful when he was back in the HP.

    Can someone help me on this one?

    Hello

    did you check if your router does not work properly? And make sure that tries to connect with another access point to verify if you really can't connect with your built-in wireless card.
    May I ask what type of router you have?

    An update of the firmware on the router is sometimes useful.
    Otherwise, try to reinstall all the wifi tricks related like drivers and software and try again, because wifi can be sometimes very tricky.
