Qosmio G40 - 10F: how to set up double Tv Tuner in Windows Media Center

Hello

I recently bought a 10th G40 and I was wondering how to set up dual Tv Tuner in Windows media Center to watch and record the Tv at the same time.
I tried to download the new driver from the Toshiba download page, but it seems to make no difference that Media Center does not give me the ability to configure 2 tuners.

Any help would be grateful

Hello

Found this useful Microsoft page:
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/footnotes.mspx

Take a look at the chapter * M *-> on MCE

You can find this info:
+ Reading and TV recording features require a USB TV tuner or external. Supports up to two TV tuners +.

So in my opinion, you cannot record TV and watch another channel at the same time using only the internal TV tuner.

  • How can I use the FM tuner in Windows Media Center?

    Hello world.

    New on the thread.
    Found this site looking for answers to a problem I have. ?:|

    I received my Toshiba Satellite computer as a Christmas gift. I noticed that it is a cool FM tuner.

    I've also been playing with Windows Media Center.
    However, I can't understand how to operate the tuner inside the WMC FM...?

    I added the NXP FM tuner program to the "extras" on WMC, but instead to open the tuner inside the WMC, it just opens the separate program.

    Anyone know how I can use the FM tuner (or another maybe?) inside the WMC?

    Thank you! :)

    Hello

    I have no experience with this because my Satellite doesn't have an FM Tuner but nice talk on it you will find under
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=138027

    If you find the final solution, it will be nice if you can describe an own experience with it. It may be useful to other people here.

    Bye and good luck!

    I have a HP m8034n pc with a tuner Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC/ATSC Combo.  The pc came with Vista and Windows media center worked great just with the tv tuner.  I upgraded to Windows 7, December 2 and fail to put in place my tv with WMC tuner.  The recorded shows that I had before the upgrade to Windows 7 appear and play without problem in WMC.

I have the latest driver and tried to uninstall and reinstall. I ran Windows Update and everything is up-to-date. After that WMC checks tuners, it says:

    I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.

  • How to delete many files duplicate music in Windows Media Center

    How to remove several duplicate files Windows Media Center music

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit with Windows Media Center and I have a 2 TB external drive, I keep all my multimedia (music/movies) and I just realized that my entire music library has been duplicated several times that I now have 4-5 copies of each music file in my library on my external hard drive. It is not duplicate my movies (thank God!) Why is this happening? How can I get rid of the duplicates? and how can I prevent this from happening in the future?

    You can also see duplicates in Windows Media Player library?

    Because Media Center uses the same library as WMP, I suggest that you try to reset the media library of WMP. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If its status is started, double-click on the service and click on stop.
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, delete the folder Media Player. If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the duplicates have been fixed.

  • How to display A / V (line) input in Windows Media Center

    I am running Windows Media Center on Vista and have equipped with a Hauppauge TV card. It has analog (NTSC) TV input, digital TV (ATSC) and a composite video & audio. TV tuners work very well. How to choose the A / V input line to display? There is no "enter" of the remote control button. I know that the signals are there because I get a picture of the video and a slice of audio using Win - TV (really crappy software).

    In the Windows Media Center Setup, it says:

    Cable

    Satellite

    Antenna

    Is it possible to have the A / V input see the place as a 'channel '?

    Thank you;

    Hi Andy W,.

    You can't see the Audio/video entry up as a channel.

  • How to show multiple photos and remove unwanted Windows Media Center photos?

    Original title: Windows Medica Center - get photos

    I have updated from Vista to 7. I loaded hundreds of photos in the computer since then.

    However, I can see only one photo at a time. How can I view multiple photos at a time and how I delete unwanted photos?

    Thank you

    Hi jdhill93,

    You cannot view several pictures at the same time on a single screen on Windows Media Center.
    See See pictures and videos in Windows Media Center

    Step 1: Remove a photo from your computer
    a. on the Windows Media Center start screen, access images + videos and then click picture library.
    b. navigate to the image you want to delete, click on the image, click on remove and then click Yes.

    Note: Deleting files permanently removes files from your computer. Back up the files before deleting.

  • Qosmio F50-125 - how to use the TV - FM Tuner in Windows 7

    Hello

    I use Qosmio F50-125 and I've just upgraded to Windows 7.
    Earlier, I discovered that I have a TV tuner on my laptop and I don't know how to use it.

    First of all, I don't have drivers for my TV tuner and tried to download something like v.2.3.3.31 driver TV tuner on the toshiba site, but it is not a typical setup.exe but only some files inside.

    If you could tell me a little more about how to use my TV option and how to install the correct drivers, I would be really grateful.

    Thanks in advance!

    After you have extracted the files you get the folder with other files
    I assume these are files required by FM tuner driver.

    Now you need to go to Device Manager, must mark the FM tuner (possibly unknown device if the driver is missing) a duty to install/update the driver.
    In your case, use the Advanced Setup.
    This allows to point to the files extracted.

  • Windows 7. How can I remove the Windows media Center programs recommended in the "Open with" section?

    I select which application (Word, Excel, etc.), they all open with Windows Media Center. This happened recently and I don't know how to cancel it. I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to "choose the program you want to use to open this file. How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group?

    "I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to"choose the program you want to use to open this file"." How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? »

    A pretty easy regedit should remove an application from the section "recommended programs". Here is a procedure step by step on how to do it. Unfortunately, I don't think that will solve your problem. What seems actually to have occurred is either your .lnk .exe (or maybe both) have inadvertently been associated with WMC. Out of the list of the programs recommended for the open with dialog box will not change. In fact, the next time that you open the program, it will open in WMC and add automatically return a program recommended in the open with dialog box.

    There really should not be whatever it is that you open a .lnk or .exe with because you really don't want to open them... you want to run. To determine if the .lnk or .exe associated with wrong, you can either watch the extension file associations in the control panel > programs, or you can see if it's a shortcut or the actual executable file that does. Need to know who, or if she is at the same time, in order to complete the fix.

    Once you know it, this link will show you how to restore the default file type link. Matter of fact, now that I think of it, it wouldn't hurt to just restore default settings for .lnk and .exe.

    "I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group? " I may be wrong, but I do not believe, you should really see anything in the open with dialog for a .lnk or .exe. Again, you don't want to really not open them... you want to run. The shortcut .lnk file goes to the executable and runs the .exe program.
