Question on Qosmio G20 tuner: NTSC and PAL use possible?

I think to buy one of these machines, but I want to learn more about the internal tv tuner.

-It is possible to change NTSC to PAL etc.? If so, how do you that?

-What are the frequencies that it can pick up - is that it is set in that you are buying this machine, or it is set so that she can receive channels of television in other countries?

Look forward to your responses.

David

Hello David

On the laptop preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition Toshiba TV feature does not work outside the country where the unit is purchased.

As far as I know that the TV Tuner is specific to the country in which the notebook is purchased. This is evident in the case of the PAL (European standard) versus NTSC (North American standard), but also includes deviations to the PAL standard that can be found in all of these countries that use it for their television shows.

The Microsoft Windows Media center Edition OS is only configured for use in the country in which the laptop was purchased. Similarly, foreign users who bring computers, portable foreigners in the other country will be unable to use the TV Tuner for the same reasons. Even exchange the TV Tuner for one that matches the country in which is used the laptop will not work.

Good bye

  • Qosmio G20-107: black and white TV in Ireland?

    Hello

    Could you explain to me why my TV picture is black and white (with Guide) or color on UK settings (without Guide)?
    My Qosmio G20-107 is the United Kingdom, and I live in Ireland.

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure, but I think that it s a question of PAL/SECAM/NTSC settings.
    Each country or region uses different PAL/SECAM/NTSC setting.

    As far as I know, the PAL is available in Europe and NTSC is available in the United States.
    But European countries also support different parameters of PAL.

    You should check if you are using the right PAL settings that exist in Ireland.

    Hello

    Are you sure that your G20 was delivered with a DVB - T tuner and analogue TV tuner not only 100%?
    As far as I know the g-20 was delivered with a different hardware configuration

    But if you camera supports DVB - T tuner, so I think that digital signal is not strong enough to receive the digital channels.

    If you wish, you can consult this useful document on HDTV on MCE:

  • Qosmio G20 Tuner does not not in Jersey

    Dear support team

    I purchased a Qosmio G20 of the UK through PC World. I live in Jersey and planned to use the tuner of the TV here. As far as I know, in the United Kingdom, I thought that the tuner would work in the Channel Islands, however were not able to receive a signal. I really doubt that there is a specific tuner to the Channel Islands. Do you have more information about it?

    Thank you very much
    Dr. Koch

    Hello

    I think it should work properly. I guess that TV standard is the same as in the UK. I have the best experience with cable TELEVISION and its connection to composite in the cable. Scan of the channels Qosmioplayer. Please let us know if it works.

  • Question of Qosmio G20

    This is the worst phone I've ever had buying it was a mistake and I will never buy a Toshiba a new.

    Hmm I put t agree with you friend
    I got the Qosmio G20 in the past and I was really happy with this laptop.
    It was my first powerful multimedia notebook and I was satisfied.
    I had some other laptop manufacturers happened, but no one was so powerful as a Qosmio...

    Now, after two years of use I sold that baby because I bought the G50.
    It supports more than features such as the G20 and supports the Toshiba Quad Core HD CPU, which was the main reason for the passage of the G20 to the G50.

    I work with many multimedia applications and it is a dream.

  • Qosmio G20 slow start and restart

    My G20 becomes slower and slower when it starts. I still like the laptop and it s design still makes me believe s the laptop more beautiful that I've ever seen (in my opinion still improve the design then the new Qosmio s).

    So I m using 80 GB hdd2 in each total of 160 GB disk...
    I m using now 72 GB in a HARD drive and 10 GB on the other. So much free space in a single disc, but the laptop is too slow start about 3 min.

    I t n planning restore and clean the system of all the
    Any advice? Gather the HDD0 and space of two disks will be more fast laptop?

    It s 2 GHz speed and 2 GB memory.
    Thank you

    Hey Buddy

    You slow startup and startup has nothing to do with the HARD drive space.
    Your laptop could start slowly, due to a large amount of processes that run in the context of the operating system!

    What you could do, is first the msconfig and disable unnecessary applications in the Startup tab.

    Use some applications cleaning CCLeaner (tool free) i.e. to clean the operating system and the registry. Last but least could not defragment the HARD disk to improve performance.

    See you soon

    Hi Lory,

    It would depend on the device you have. The 1080 50i units hav an option of PAL/NTSC selector in the Menu to change this setting accordingly. But it is not present in the models of 1080 60i. Check the box or the bottom of the camera for this information.

  • Re: Qosmio G20 makes "scratching" and swirling sounds

    Hello

    My laptop is now doing "scratch" and swirling noise. Scratching noise sounds like something a little unbalanced. This happens not all the time, but when he does he will continue for hours.

    Nothing seems to be a problem with the operation of the pc.

    My questions are:
    1. This sounds like a five disk about to give up? (I saved just in case).
    2. If I need to replace a disk, what can replace it with? Can I get a larger dic or 2 larger disks?

    A few technical details.

    1. I have not run in RAID mode
    2. I have hard drives 2@80GB
    3 g-20 Model: PQG20A-008002
    4. I run XP

    It's not easy to say what could cause these noise scratches but I remember my old laptop created HARD drive noise to scratch in moving the HARD drive.
    This is not happen always but sometimes in reading / writing data.

    But this does not mean that the same thing would happen with your HARD drive
    As suggested by Akuma, the noise may come from modules cooling fans too

    However its always recommended to backup data and to keep a copy of the data on another HARD drive or flash memory stick
    In case something goes wrong with the HARD drive, you could easily restore data from other media.

  • Two questions on Qosmio G20 - 165

    2 issues of a whole new user in the United Kingdom

    (1) how can I configure the Qosmio Player for TV in the manual tuning mode for BBC1's channel 1, BBC's channel 2, ITV's channel 3 etc. [I can set up channels with the help of autotune, but of course, you get 1 BBC to channel 23, BBC2 on 30 channel etc, so you must type in 23, 30 etc.the intructions to put in place the Qosmio player seem to be non-existent]

    (2) in the music library, you get an error message when you try to burn CDs - it only a little paper comes with the computer that says that is not possible to burn a CD of MCE - is there a fix or a solution for this?

    (1) in the MediaCentre window go to Settings/TV/Guide/change order of the channels.

    (2) I don't know about a fix for CD MediaCentre burning, but my slip said use 'Sonic Record' (RecordNow!) Toshiba has installed on the computer. I used and worked well.

    Hope it will be useful.

  • Qosmio G20: Media FN and control buttons do not work with XP

    Please I need help as its brightness full stuck on and my eyes hurt... lol... no jokes, it's really bad.

    I rang the guys TI and they give me just a website, but they don't tell me which driver.

    I downloaded the Qosimo drive driver, but I don't know how to use it.

    Please help me some1... as soon as possible...

    Hello Franz,.

    As a first step, install the Toshiba commom modules, from here:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/commonmodulesxp.rar

    then install toshiba controls, from here:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/controlsxp.rar

    After that, you will probably work of toshiba buttons.

    For the Qosmio player, you must burn it the image that you download from the website of toshiba on a CD.
    After that, put this CD in your Qosmio, press F12, select Boot CD key and install it.
    But remember, THIS IS IMPORTANT: If you install the Qosmio Player, this will reformat your hard drive and lose all partitions of HD and data, as well.
    Normally you install Qosmio player before installing Windows XP, media Center, Vista. etc...

    Take care

    Can someone advise me on this?

    Hello

    This problem occurs since the first day of the purchase of the laptop?
    Did you install any codec's or 3rd applications?
    It's not easy to say why it happens, but if you think that it s a display driver problem then you can try to update the graphics driver.
    If it doesn t help it would be very interesting to know if this happens on the laptop picked up fresh.
