• Qosmio F20-136: someone tried Tv Software such as GB - PVR?

  I have a Qosmio F20-136 with media Center, but due to the fact that I lose permanently the TV signal on digital channels, I was going to try free software GB - PVR tuner that I tired trying to use Media Digital Center. I have a perfect antenna signal that crosses a digibox on my main TV together but not satisfied with the Qosmio tuner.

  Someone else used the alternative free GB - PVR software successfully?

• Qosmio F20-136: I have no restore CD?

  The Qosmio F20-136 laptop comes with a Windows CD I can't find one, don't know if its just on the recovery CD, but I think remember me there used to be a Microsoft Map with etc product key, I do not see to be able to find a.
  Thank you

  Hi Mike

  AFAIK the recovery CD provided with the device. On this CD, you will find a ghost image that includes a Windows operating system, drivers, and other applications as a Note.
  The product key for a Note that you will find on the cover of the recovery CD. In addition, you don't need to activate the Windows operating system because the imgages Toshiba are already activated.

  But maybe you have to create this image of yourself. In this case using Toshiba, you will find a function to burn clean recovery Image

• Qosmio F20-136: how to install the software update for DVB TV device?

  Hi, I used the update all the drivers for my qosmio f20 136 11/07/06 and received various pilot updated on the list.
  The file called TV-TUNER-QF20-XPMCE-103250526 at startup allows the pilot to TV TUNER directory listing and seems to be once I was the driver under System section and selected update driver and select this directory.

  My question is the another file called DVBTAHYB-QF20-XPMCE-1051340 when I click on the file that I just get a list of files, when I try the My TV driver update and choose this directory it won't find anything, does anyone know how to install that to update the file. The download list says they are two updates of tv pilot.

  Maybe Toshiba could include a text file explaining in detail how to install these files? Can anyone help please. And nobody knows which file to copy to save a permanent channel registration, so I could re install the file in the directory so lost the complete channel list?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Maybe I understood something wrong, but according to the prudence shown on the Toshiba download page, the TV-TUNER-QF20-XPMCE-103250526 driver is designed for the range of models between F20-101 and F20 - 135.
  Are you sure that this disc is designed for your computer model laptop too?

  Have you tried to install the update of dvbtahyb-qf20-xpmce-1051340 when the original pilot of the TV (factory settings) is preinstalled?

• Qosmio F20-136: scanned TV guide channel - save the file so you can recharge?

  I have a Qosmio F20 - 136 running XP Media Center. My question is does anyone know the name of the file that has the channels scanned so that if I do a re scan and don't get all channels from the list, because of my reception antenna I can re - load the file on the system with a complete list?

  What happens, if I make a new analysis of the channels of television at home I don't get that nearly 20 tv channels, but if I take the laptop to work, where I guess it's a better reception from the transmitter, I travel 35 channels found. I would like to save the file when its 35 channels scanned and have the opportunity to replace it in the directory, if I do a re scan at home.

  Thank you.

  Hello Mike

  Your validation list is very impressive and you should be an expert Qosmio. ;)
  I have F20 too and I also noticed that I can't watch all the channels available on cable TELEVISION here at home.

  Have you already found something interesting about it?

• HDD upgrade on Qosmio F20-136

  I have a Qosmio F20-136 with about 60 GB hard drive, I see that new models now have more than 200 to 320 GB of HDD.

  Does anyone know what updates are available for the hard drive for my machine, because I want to increase the size.
  Thank you

  You will have no problem with 120 GB.
  The problem is that you won't find a Toshiba official information on the size of HARD drive compatibility.
  You must test several sizes. In any case, for now I didn t find any laptop computers with a single internal 320 GB HDD and as mentioned by James s not sure what the BIOS does not support this large size of HARD drive.
  So if you want to use a HDD larger than 120HDD you should test it before you buy

• Can Qosmio F20-136 - I upgrade to Windows 7?

  Hello

  I've owned a Qosmio F20-136 for about 4 years with XP Media Center installed. He and always does a great job despite the 1.6gz processor and 1.5 GB of ram. I was considering upgrading to Windows 7 However after looking I could not find any driver for the model for Windows 7 support.

  Could someone help / tell me about that? Obviously I don't want an upgrade disaster!

  Hello

  To be honest what do you think about upgrading to Windows 7 on a laptop for 4 years?

  In your case I Don t do this upgrade. This computer laptop isn't designed for Windows 7, there are no drivers on the Toshiba site. Just be satisfied with your XP, it runs much faster than Windows 7.

  Never touch a running system! ;)

• Qosmio F20-136: is your fan permanently on?

  I noticed that on my Qosmio F20-136 cooling fan never shuts. There when I start the machine and don't vary in speed, or stop, except when the machine is off.

  Is this normal for this model? Everybody suffers the same constant hairdryer noise?

  I try to install the fan control software and re - install the latest orders Tosh Power saver, but nothing does make a difference.

  I got Qosmio F20 for two weeks at home and I noticed the same thing. I don't think it's something unusual. I noticed that cooling fan works often or permanent but very slow speed.

  Most of the time when you work on PC, I listen to the music and for me it was not disturbing at all.
