TV tuner for Hong Kong/China on Qosmio F20-104

Hello

I'm about to make my payment for a model Qosmio F20-104 of the United Kingdom. However, I read in this forum about the incompatibility of the TV tuner through different countries.

As I will use my model largely in China & Hong Kong, which also adopt the same standard PAL B than the United Kingdom, does that mean that I will be able to watch television from Hong KONG/China or not? Is the problem related to the edition of Windows Media Center and could be fixed?

Any sound feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Felix

Hello

As far as I know the devices installed with Microsoft Windows Edition Media Center TV functionality does not work outside the United Kingdom.
Supply the following reasons:

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 Edition Media Center operating system is only configured for use in the country in which the laptop was purchased. This configuration corresponds to functions such as obtaining the electronic Program Guide through the Internet.

In my opinion it's not possible to watch television from Hong KONG/China :(

Good bye

    I have recently updated for windows vista premium 32 bit os and am having some difficulty finding drivers to use certain parts\service on the machine that were there on the original configuration.
    Vista has done a good job sorting of various parts of the computer, and it is currently very well with all the major parts of the laptop.

    I searched vista support and drivers, but found them is it that only for the series f30.

    I need help drivers\programs to help me with the following...

    -the touchmouse on the laptop (it works fine, but the extra features on this topic for example buttons at the corners, staggered, sliders, etc. do not work)
    -the SD card reader
    -the media buttons on the top of the laptop computer keyboard
    -function key ("FN") does not work when combod with the 'F' keys (for example FN and F7 landed brightness)
    -the main managers of Toshiba (for example ones you change the series of boot etc.)

    That's it, I've noticed so far, so if anyone has any suggestions that would help me, I would be eternally grateful and very happy!

    -A the QOSMIO user very happy.

    Qosmio F20 is not supported by all the Vista drivers.

    I recently purchased a Qosmio F20-104 but cannot get items from Premier to work on it, I can load it on, but it shows 'serious error of closure. " Ive had it works well on my old computer for about a year. I rang Adobe on the problem, but they wanted to charge me £35 to tide me over, so any help would be much appreciated.

    Hello

    You will be very happy if someone uses the same software with the same unit. If this is not the case, your only chance is to contact Adobe support because the Toshiba is not responsible for the use of non-Toshiba Software and it is not supported.

    I bought my iPhone in October last year in Hong Kong, so it is in warranty. Now, there are problems with the WiFi connection, repair in China takes 2 weeks, but I'll go to the United States, ten days later. I can solve this problem in the United States?

  • Can I use my iPhone 6 bought in Hong Kong in the Canada?

    Can I use my iPhone 6s bought in Hong Kong in the Canada?

    Your question can mean two things:

    1. Can I use my iPhone to the Canada?  I'll be there for a short period of time and wish to use there, but continue to keep my current (based in Hong Kong) cellular service provider.  I know I'm paying expensive roaming charges for my use of telephone and cellular data.
    2. Can I use my iPhone to the Canada?  I bought it in Hong Kong, but will live in the Canada and wish to use a Canadian cell phone company, once I am there.

    The answer to (1) is certainly!

    The answer to (2) is I'm not sure, but I do not.  To have any hope of answer (2) 'Yes', you at least should:

    • Have the cellular carrier based in Hong Kong to unlock iPhone (I don't think that they do so at all - I know that they would not be if the iPhone has begun on the Japan.)
    • Have the cellular company Canadian base to use methods of transmission and/or frequencies (e.g. GSM) accepts the iPhone from Hong Kong.
