Qosmio F20-011: malfunction of the TV tuner hardware

I've recently encountered an error with my Media Center.

I get the following error message when you try to do everything related to the TV side of the software.

The tuner is defective or not installed. Please make sure that the tuner hardware and a valid tuner hardware disk are installed

Hello

And have you checked it? The TV tuner is preinstalled correctly?

  • Qosmio F20 - problem with WXP MCE TV tuner

    Hello

    I have a strange problem...
    I install win XP MCE on my qosmio F20-111 and all work fine.
    TV Tuner work verry good, list all the chanel and all the work.
    But after the first reboot when I try again Live TV in Media Center, I received the message "bad TV tuner work or do not present, try to restart.

    I try everything, but it still does not work.
    When I use the system restore, it works until I reboot again. Once again, I get this message.

    Any ideas? Please...

    You should check if after the next reboot the TV tuner is properly recognized in Device Manager.
    If this is not the case, then visit the European driver Toshiba page and you must reinstall (update) the TV tuner driver.
    Maybe it's the key to the solution ;)

    Good luck and I would appreciate feedback

  • Qosmio F10: Cannot set up the TV Tuner!

    I can't be able to receive any form of TV on my Qosmio F10 signal.

    I tried a manual and automatic TV signal setup in Windows Media Center, while only connected to various points of antenna and my satellite receiver, but the software manages never actually receive any form of signal.

    I checked each of the cables works properly by connecting it to a TV, and there is certainly a good signal.

    All I can think is there is a problem with my Toshiba TV Tuner hardware (I uninstalled and rebooted to reinstall drivers TV Tuner), or possibly the adapter cable little.

    Someone else had this problem?

    Any ideas?

    Ok... No one has any ideas, then!

    Here's an update... I took my Qosmio F10 at the shop where I bought and showed them the problem.

    They were very helpful and offered to test their display machine. He struggled, but finally picked up a garbled from an antenna signal.

    They agreed that my Qosmio was wrong and pulled another out of stock. We decided to check quickly to see that another did not pick up a signal either!

    As they had no more stock, I agreed to take the display model at home, because we knew that it worked.

    Since then, I only managed to get for my Sky Digital receiver by manually telling it what channel it is on (68) and have not been able to set up anything via a terrestrial antenna!

    I have connected the original problem with the technical support of Toshiba, who said that it should be referred to their team of level three, who work office hours only. I have been waiting for four days for a response and am not a happy chappy!

    Unfortunately, there is no link to download. Please order for money from Toshiba:

  • Qosmio F20: Bad sound using the MSN Messenger & video transmission

    Hi all

    I recently bought a laptop Qosmio F20, who is currently connected to the Internet via a router/modem WiFi Netgear (DG834v2).
    I tried to use MSN messenger v7.5 (7.5.0311 and 7.5.0324) with a webcam Creative NX () to make a video call.
    But the sound of the person I'm talking to is so distorted, it is impossible to have a conversation (I tried with several of my friends, who all have good sound on their end).
    However, if I have an audio only (no video) conversation, I have a perfect sound.
    Despite my best efforts (update drivers, reinstall messenger, windows firewall ok for messenger etc...) I've had no chance of finding the problem so far. If anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful.

    Thanks in advance.
    François

    Hello

    You suggested that the sound working properly without the video connection.
    In my opinion, it happens because of the webcam. Maybe the software has a bad influence on the sound.
    This is not a product of Toshiba, and Toshiba is not responsible for any 3rd party device.
    I recommend you to check the site of the manufacture of cam. Maybe you will find the solution.

  • Qosmio F20-154: Re-activating the IrDA port

    Hi, some time ago I disabled the ir on my qosmio F20-154 port, as I saw no need.

    Now half a year later, I've forgotten how to get it (for a new laptop).
    I see very little in the manual wonder, if I need to use the remote control receiver?

    Concerning
    Hans

    Hello

    You forgot how to activate the IrDA? ;)
    As far as I know the IrDA port is not available on this device.

    Check Device Manager if there is no IrDA devices appears.
    I think that you will find nothing, because there is no such thing as the IrDA port.

    Of course, it is possible that you received an IrDA device for the use of the remote control, but you cannot use it to transfer files.

  • Qosmio F20: How to use the microphone internal?

    Good, my second and last question (I hope).
    The F20 was a "microphone".
    How to use it?
    Does this mean that I will not need an external microphone at any point?

    Hello

    It would be very interesting to know the name of your Qosmio F20 - xxx, because there are many F20 with a different hardware configuration.
    I found some Qosmios F20 without the internal microphone on the Toshiba site.
    In this case, you can only use an external microphone.

    But if you laptop should internal microphone, it should be possible to enable this feature under control panel sound and Audio Devices tab, Advanced button Volume.

  • Qosmio F20-132: Question on the use of the remote control

    Hi ppl, I just read the manual of my laptop and I realized something that I didn't realize before

    I can use my remote control without using the "infrared adapter" using the USB connection, but it does not work inside the Win XP MCE, but I can use it to turn on my laptop and off and use other features, I will try in the future to use some other aplications with the remote control. I guess many of you guys realized it when you bought your laptop, but I said at the beginning when I opened the package ' what the hell? remote control... but I really need this adapter? Sherazade, that sucks.

    by the way someone is using the remote control with other applications (such as ahead nero, chis tv, or linux inside)?

    Hello

    I downloaded the manual for this unit, and according to the information of the remote control receiver is required if you want to use the MCE Remote control.

    In addition, remote controls USB only works with Win MCE and so cannot be used directly with Qosmio Player
    Additional some application programs can not supported control functions remotely.
