• Qosmio G20-115: TV Tuner missing 1 or 2 channels

  Hello
  Our qosmio g20 tv tuner missing 1 or 2 channels, I would understand if he did not get the channel with bad reception on our normal tv, but the channel is missing is one of the clearest of cases.
  I did the scan twice and still no luck.
  We have come an antenna on the roof and its been verified by a proffesional person and is in perfect order.

  Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  In this forum, I see many people who have problems with the reception of the G20.
  I can watch all English channels, but the quality is very poor.

  If you use the G20 as a desktop like me, forget the G20 tv tuner and buy a freeview box (35-40 pounds).

  "I get wonderful images of a free box satellite with a satellite dish, via s-video-in port"
  and also, wonderful images of a "digital terrestrial DTT box" with a normal antenna, via the "monitor-in port.

  If the antenna works fine with digital transmissions that are notoriously more difficult
  to receive, it would be essential to correctly receive analog transmissions and, in my case, this is true for a normal TV,
  but it is not true with the G20 TV card!

  Is possible that you need an adapter "SCART to RCA", depending on what output a your decoder.

  I can jump a decoder / to another using the utility:

  "All the programs/TOSHIBA/utilities/image Enhancement Utility.
  then I click on: 'Parameter input monitor' and I can choose: "Monitor-in" or "S-video-in.

  The G20 is a wonderful machine with a beautiful screen, but in my opinion, he has a weak tv card.

  Good bye

• Qosmio G20: Questions on MCE Recovery CD/DVD

  A few months back, I bought this laptop Qosmio G20. It s cool. I live in Asia where media center edition is not launched with this series. I have a Windows XP home edition with this laptop. Can someone tell me if it is possible for me to format this OS and install MCE on this laptop? And where I could get a recovery cd/dvd edition of Media Center? What is the procedure to install Media Center Edition of restore cd if I get a? And someone wants to share their media center edition cd recovery with me would be great.

  pls contact me on this email address [email protected]

  Thank you very much (:)

  Hello Anand

  AFAIK only devices with tuner TV have installed MCE and you can get the MCE OS recovery CD if you bought it with the Toshiba unit. If your laptop comes with Windows XP Home you can only get this form of recovery CD service partner. However, you can use the original cd of Microsoft Windows MCE. Then you can try to download all of the necessary drivers from the Toshiba site.

• Qosmio G20-102 TV TUNER: how to get this to work - what cables are required?

  Hey everybody,

  I just installed vista on my laptop QOSMIO G20-102 (PQG20), I have media library now.
  My laptop came not like MEDIA CENTER EDITION, it came under the home edition of Windows XP (laptop purchased in July 2005).
  I got 3 cables which I have no idea how to use...
  laptop was purchased in Dubai/Emirates and I live in Malta

  These are the cables >
  http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/7189/dsc00780gi6.jpg

  Now for my question (s):
  1 which of these cables do I need? Im just trying to figure out how to get my satellite tv or digital cable to work on my laptop.
  2 antenna adapter (see picture) is not for coaxial cable, what can I do?
  3 I did WINDVR more due to the upgrade of vista, Media Center Gets the job done but I don't know what to do... This guide has confused me even more > http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/using/setup/settop.mspx
  I don't have IR control cable, I do not have a remote sensor (but I have some sort of built in the remote sensor on the front of my laptop.

  I'm looking for advice as for example buy this, get rid of it, install this etc...
  Please, anything that can help is appreciated!
  If you need information more just ask, I am here ;)

  Yours sincerely

  Hi ismael,.
  I'll try to help with that, but it's a long way to the road...
  I don't know what Tv system is used to Malta (Pal)?

  The best way to set up your TV's with Media Center 2005 edition.
  Cables:
  Check the back of your cable TV installation box and find the composite or SVHS output. If you have only the composite, you can use the composite cable of the posted image. If your TV decoder has the SVHS, so you should use, to the better image than composite. You must obtain a SVHS cable for this.
  Look for the audio output rca, too. Mix with the composite cable for the audio Qosmio.

  But you must have:
  1 control cable IR, for media center 2005 configuration as well as your TV decoder. It is cable connected to the remote sensor (see fact sheet on the back).

  2 sensor for your remote control and configure it with the remote control of your TV decoder. In this way, you can control the receiver cable channels, using the remote control for your Qosmio G20 media center edition.
  Recovery: you can change the channels on your TV decoder using the qosmio remote control.

  3. remote control for you media Center 2005, one that came with your Qosmio g20.

  Open the TV on Media Center 2005 configuration and follow all the steps required for installation.
  You must follow the guide, as is explained in the image you posted:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/using/Setup/SetTop.mspx

  If you have all these cables, you can use the Qosmio player to watch TV. It is not tied to windows OS.
  Here, simply connect the coaxial cable and let the Qosmio player search for available channels in your area. Qosmio player has the opportunity to set the colour TV system in any part of the world. all NTSC regions in all PAL regions.
  If you have the remote control for your Qosmio, TV keys will work directly with the Qosmio remote sensor on board, without needing the external sensor of Microsoft.

  I hope this helps you

• Qosmio G20: Question of Media Center Receiver - recovery question

  As the abvoe really, I usually leave my computer running from one day to the next day and yesterday I went on it to find that I had 80 MB hard drive (60 GB HDD) to the left. Error messages had popped up and a record of these was recorded in the folder pchealth, under userdumps, or something like that. Anyway I deleted 58gigs with a value of these userdumps, but the same error message kept popping up.

  It was a mistake with the Media Centre receiver, but I don't quite know what it is, but it was founded in the ehome folder which I think is located in the main folder of Windows.

  I have been into msconfig and stopped the ehhome.exe to start but that seems to ruin the tv/video within the media library settings.

  I recently installed the codec and divx player to play divx movies.

  I was wondering is that it would be more prudent to use the CD recovery and re - install windows and the software and create a restore point, and then install the codecs to see if the same problem arises, or if someone has had this problem and it heals.

  Finally, I actually ran the recovery cd to the above, but when the cd starts the first line on back said something like, 'running Setup for windows 98'. XP is certainly on the 98 and no recovery cd?

  Can someone please confirm this for me and all the answers to the above problems.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I can t believe that Windows 98 is placed on the recovery CD.
  AFAIK the Qosmio G20 was delivered with the MCE window.
  There is no recovery of Win98 CDs for Qosmio units.

  In my opinion, this message occurs due to RAID or other drivers that load at the beginning.

• Qosmio G20: Question about networking & monitor in and Xbox

  Just bought a G20 last week and I'm in love. First laptop I've ever owned and its worth every penny.

  A few scarecrows.

  I never received an antenna adapter to connect my in arial, but I'm sure I sohuld of fact. In the quick start manual of what it listed everything that I should received in the pack, and who was listed. Was not enough one - if anyone knows a number to contact Toshiba and get one of these sent to me? Can't seem to find one anywhere.

  Second... I'm going to my brother's computer network. Novice course of network, it does not work that well. I'm not sure whether if we need a router? I just want to connect to his computer and use the internet through that. As you would with a network cable. So he bought himself a wireless network card... but we'll be buggered if we can get it too work. Any advice or a definitive guide... or do we this router after all?

  And thirdly, sorry for the long post, but I'm playing my Xbox by the G20, but I'm having no luck what so ever. I plugged the monitor using the three composite cards (white, yellow and red) but nothing that passes through. The only way I've seen a photo is when you set up a decoder and it happens in a small box when its analyses for channels... but I can't select to see and it seems s delay 1 second.

  Sorry for the post long-term... just try to make it all sorted.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello

  You are right that the Qosmio is a very nice unit.
  But I'm not sure about the antenna adapter. I found the information in the user manual that the antenna adapter is optional. In this case the adapter will not always come with the laptop, but you can ask that the Toshiba service partner.

  Well well, on the network connection: If you want to connect two computer, you need a crossover network cable if you don t use the router. In addition, two laptop computers must be in the same workgroup. In addition, you must manually set the IP address, the default gateway and the subnet mask in the internet protocol TCP/IP properties.

  On the Xbox:
  If you want to know more on the connection of MCE and Xbox, see this Microsoft Web site.

• Qosmio F20: Question on tuner TV and Touch pad

  Hi guys,.

  This is the first time for me on the forum, I have questions about my Qosmio F20.

  1. I installed a Microsoft mouse wireless yesterday, and I noticed that the touch pad system tray icon and Touch and Go system tray icon disappeared! Could it be because that the replacement of a pointing device with another? I would like your help to recover the missing programs again.

  2 - I tried to connect the satellite receiver with the TV tuner and I managed to get a picture, but the image was all blue. Does anyone have an EXPLANATION for that? And can I fix it without going through dealers?

  Please, help me with my problems.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  1.) of course the 3rd party mouse driver could be a reason for a loss of Touch and Go system tray icon. If you wish, you can use the system restore which is part of the Win Xp operating system. This procedure should push you old driver and utility.

  (2.) trying to update the TV tuner driver. The latest version is 1.0.32.50526

• Qosmio G20: Question on the status of RAID

  Small question. I want to determine if the RAID is completely disabled on my G20 (2 x 100 GB hard drives).

  When I reinstalled the operating system from the recovery disks in the RAID set up, I chose the option of two independent hard drives so they now drive C & D with Mac on C and D data on.

  If I go to the RAID console, it says "Can not get status", so I guess that the RAID is completely disabled but I wanted to just make sure.

  Thank you.

  Yes, you are right. You need at least 2 disks for a raid configuration to choose two independent disks made (off since raid), and your raid is not enabled. Good day.

• Qosmio G20: Problems with tuner TV and Qosmio player on Linux

  Hello!

  I would like to install a Debian's Linux distribution based on my machine... But it looks like there could be some problems with a TV tuner and the qosmio player.
  Is there someone who could help me with a viable solution for this?

  Lasse

  Hello

  Well, you need a TV tuner driver, but the problem is the LINUX operating system.
  There is no drivers for Linux. Toshiba doesn't supports Linux. In addition, you will not find also all the drivers.
  All you can do is to use the Windows operating system. The Knoppix and Kanonix are very nice Linux distributions. You can run these Linux from the live CD. You n t need to install anything.

• How to see the TNT on Qosmio G20-129?

  Hallo,

  I plug the antenna cable and I see the analog TV.
  But: how I see dvb TV?

  Thank you
  Marco Molinari

  Hello

  If you use a MCE, you must set up a TV signal. Go to settings and select general
  Then the MCE installation and configure the TV Signal.
  But not all areas, DVB - T have been supported.

• Qosmio G20: Qosmio player and FM Tuner

  I saw a question on the FM tuner in the Qosmio G20 series (and other portable with Qosmio Player). Users responded that the Qosmio Player has no FM tuner! That's wrong!

  I did a manual search in Qosmio Player using frequency analysis, and it is possible to scan the frequency range of the FM band. So, I found a few radio stations that I can save. The resolution is not the best but you can easily find radio stations!

  Hello

  I agree with Togan. The units are supplied with different hardware configurations.
  As a result, some units support a tuner and are supplied without the tuner.

• Qosmio G20 - update Tuner TV digital?

  Hello

  I have the Qosmio G20 and unfortunately it only support analog TV. I wrote to the Japan Toshiba here and they said that it is not possible to upgrade the G20 to digital television.

  It is the official manufacturer of advice, but as I know from experience, there is always another way around these things using third-party hardware and software.

  Anyone have any ideas on how this could be done?

  Hello

  The Qosmio G20 series was delivered with different hardware compatibility.
  Some of the G20 has been delivered with a TNT antenna + analog hybrid TV Tuner and DVB - T and other G20 supports only analog TV.

  Well, if your computer laptop doesn t supports digital Tv then you can try to use the tuner TNT + external.
  I sure you will find plenty of m offers in the internet.

• Downloading and installing Tuner driver - Qosmio G20

  Excuse my ignorance, but I downloaded a file zip on the Toshiba site containing files for installing a tv tuner driver (date updated 11.24.05) for my Qosmio G20 - 139 (PQG21E-01500NEN). The instructions say: '... .cochez the contents of the zip file for details of installation, but I can't find/identify a file that provides instructions on how (there are a few I clicked on this offer a warning about opening files, so, being a novice in these things, I chose to not continue).

  Can anyone advise me on what file contains the installation instructions, or how I should go about installing this driver?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hi Eduar

  I t's not done this before, but as you can see there is no any file setup.exe and install the driver on the usual way. Go to device manager, chose the device and properties you can use the option of installing the driver.

  You can also start the Add Hardware Wizard.
