TV Tuner in Qosmio g40

Hello

Can someone tell me if it is possible to connect directly the Satalite feel G40 laptop computer:
-J' have my flat plate on the roof, so using the coaxial cable coming from this plate can I connect the other end directly to the laptop.

- and Yes (just in case you ask) I have a set - top box that I use if I want to watch this dish on TV.

- But what I wanted to do is to connect this cable directly to the laptop without using the game box don't want to be always next to the set - top box, the set - top box is in the living room and I want to use the laptop in another room, I don't have to get a cable between the set-top box that runs through all the place (this coaxial cable are on each room through the wall) to side does not make any sense to me... If I have a set - top box which means I have a TV so why should I stand next to the TV to watch TV on your laptop.

-He's not crazy as I had a before ATI card in my desktop and I used to connect the coaxial cable to flat plate even directly to it and was able to watch all channels and change channels with the remote control.

-so just in case where this card TV Tuner (on G40) cannot do it is anyway to make it work such as the use of any software decoder or something else.

thanx

As far as I know you can connect directly only if you have cable TV. With the help of satellites it must run on sat-receiver. Solution to your last question is unclear to me. Maybe you should ask experts in some electronic store. They should be familiar with such things.

If you find a solution please let me know because I use satellite also.

  • Qosmio G40 - 120 Integrated TOSHIBA hybrid Analog/PCI DVB - T TV Tuner HOW to

    Hi everyone and thank you in advance for your help.
    I have a qosmio as in the subject with this hybrid tuner. This seems to work well, but the fact that the only software recognized as dual tuner is windows media center in vista ultimate oem supplied.
    Some other software which is cyberlink powercinema and mediaportal OpenSource can only dvb - t sintonize, other channels (for example virtualdub) see only the analog section of the tuner.
    Indeed, the problem is that the Media Center does not give me the ability to use the tuner at the same time to receive the analog channels and TNT. If I want to change from analog, dvb - t, or vice versa, I have to redo the hardware configurations :(
    So the only chance I have is to use two separate software.
    I'm doing something wrong? Is the ability to force another software to see the other part of the tuner (i.e. dvb - t for virtualdub) or analog-mediaportal? Is there a method to use media center in both directions without configuring again eveytime I change from analog to digital TELEVISION?

    Sorry my friend, I see no problem here and I think you have misunderstood something. As far as I know "hybrid" follow: 2 functions, but only one can be used.

    As much I know as Qosmio G40 has a TV in the port and how you want to use DTT and analog at the same time.

  • Qosmio G40 - graphics card keeps overheating and crashing all at stake

    My nVidia 8600GT card in my laptop Qosmio G40 overheating guard and crashing when I m gaming.

    It works all the games that I put on it fine, but overheating then crashes and me kicks off the games I play m.
    Is it just because it s a laptop and it s inclined to do?

    I tried to increase the fan speed with riva tuner and precision, but no program allows me to access the utility of fan speed.
    I presume this is because it s a specific card from the laptop... I also can't find the driver for this card from nVidia updates.

    Help, please... James

    Hello!

    Are you using the Toshiba display driver? This is important because the pilot factory don t have protection against overheating and the graphics chip can be damaged.

    In addition, this could also be an overheating problem. If you need to clean your laptop with a jet of compressed air that you can buy at a local computer retailer.

    Last but not least, I would not try to change the speed of the fan or something else. This will be controlled automatically.

    Good bye

  • Qosmio G40-127 - need windows XP drivers

    Hello.

    I just got my new Qosmio G40 and I want to install Windows XP Pro / Media center on this issue. I know it's possible, but I want to know wich drivers to use in order to operate correctly. I already had drivers laptopvideo2go nvidia, realtek, and chipsetdrivers. I need webcam, wireless lan, TV tuner, etc..

    Y at - there anyone out there who have a Qosmio G40-127 and made a WXP install and know where to find these drivers? I don't have not upgraded anything but RAM to 4 GB. Otherwise, it is like new.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are right. The XP drivers are not available at this time on the Toshiba driver page. I didn't find it too. Looks like we have to wait...

    But listen;
    There are some XP drivers for another Qosmio series; G30 for example.
    You can try to install these unique pilots because many laptops are equipped with the same features and drivers may work too.

    The WLAN driver can be downloaded from the Toshiba WLan Portal:
    http://APS.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    like driver BT:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

    The LAN driver can be downloaded from the Intel page because as far as I know LAN chip is an Intel 82566MC(Nineveh MC)

    You should take the recovery disc and needs to be reinstalled the operating system of the provided Toshiba DVD.

  • Qosmio G40 - update graphics card

    Hello world

    I know it works has already answered in October 2009, but I have a few not 100% course info on the upgrade of the graphics cards. Now I have a qosmio g40-10 with nvidia geforce 8600 with 512 video memory. Because this card is purely not enough for the high-end gaming today, I want to update at least 1 GB of video memory. Like many people here, I tried to find some information online but its just waste of time. I asked in each PC store in my town this topic and 60% of them responded that it is possible, but it will cost you so.

    They could not tell exactly witch card should take but logically it will be nvidia series that were used by Toshiba manufacter, what I'll do I will find some young model of Toshiba nvidia cards and will just try to adapt it. Logically that laptops Toshiba chassy is almost the same, of course mounting screws can be different, but ultimately, it's a project. The only problem is the motherboard, I heard that this motherboard is unable to accept certain graphics cards.

    If you have some info on this please let me know.
    Also different (highest card) coz, there will be cooling problem so if you have ideas to solve heating, please share it with me.
    Thanks much adrian

    Hello Adrian

    I guess that you know very well that the possibilities of upgrade on mobile units are very limited; especially GPU or CPU upgrade and laptop manufacturers offer don t any kind of support. Because of the design specific common problem for mobile units is cooling system. More performance means more heat and more heat, compromised of portable computer hardware switch or damage.

    Manufacturers of portable don t support cela and don offers t any helpful info about it. GPU upgrade in my opinion is not a good idea. OK, you can do with your laptop that you want and play a little bit, but I'm afraid that your project is too risky and will not end with success of m.

    If you need a more powerful computer I think it's time for the new portable computer with more powerful hardware. What you think so.

  • Qosmio G40 - no webcam with live Messenger

    Hello world

    I installed Win 7 on my Qosmio G40 instead of Vista and everything work fine except the webcam that does not work with live Messenger (only) no matter what I do (I tried several drivers, re-installed Win messenger live, close some processes, etc ;) I get this error message:

    '* Cannot start your webcam. "Check if it is not used by another program and retry."

    What the hell can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    I read a lot of discussions about the problems with webcam and messenger Ms.
    The problem with Vista has been resolved by the SP1 from Microsoft Update.
    Now, it seems to be that the same problem with Win 7 looks like a thing of compatibility

    However, because the message says that the webcam is used by another application, I suppose that some background processes lock the webcam

    You must remove webcam and messenger MS startup in msconfig.
    After that, restart the laptop and don t start the webcam software if you want to use it in Messenger from Ms.

  • Qosmio G40 - 10Z - possible CPU upgrade?

    What processor can I put my Qosmio G40 - 10Z? I couldn't find a list and the motherboard is a "motherboard Toshiba" without a template or similar.
    I would like to change to a better processor, a quadcore would be well, is - it possible?

    My Windows 7 tells me to change the battery, but the battery is ok. Google says its due to Windows and could be solved by the BIOS updated. I have the newest
    Official home page. There is no latest BIOS available?

    Thank you

    Robert

    Hello

    I doubt that the CPU upgrade would be possible. You should read this article:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    This error message is it exactly that you get Windows 7? Normally you get only a low battery notification, you need to Exchange or connect the power supply.

  • Qosmio G40-108 - prevent recovery of product disc ask to insert the disc

    I have a Qosmio G40-108 and it works fine even if the disc is not read discs any longer, perhaps because of a motherboard failure that I replace the disk with a new of brans and it still does not work, but my problem is the following... I have the product recovery disc, I tried to copy it to a USB key and reinstall the OS from USB and the start of software loading a page with the logo Toshiba asking to insert the recovery disk into drive F: I can't use is more like it's broken. How can I prevent the disc from asking to insert the disk into drive F:? There are lines on the laptop recovery disk to install the USB without using the disc?

    I managed to install a generic Windows Vista 32 bit downloaded from a Web site and my serial key works with it, but I really want to reinstall the original software
    P.S. Recovery of product is for Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and just in case there is also a serial number of the disk GMR400766ENG

    I don't have any experience with this, but I found an interesting article on creating recovery USB - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm

    I bought my laptop model from January 2009 as a demo in a Dutch shop called Qplaza http://www.qplaza.nl/

    Don't think I have any warranty next to security,) I received store (2 years), but there are a few things I don't understand.

    As I understand it, it's that there is even a lawsuite on this problem and that it indeed was a problem with chips from nvidia 8600. But then why won't Toshiba or Nvidia fix laptops with these problems?

    I read my laptop have to go to the special repair service to replace my motherboard and I have to pay for myself.
    And that's IF they can fix my laptop.

    I started searching the Internet which could be the cost of price, but the answers don't make me a very happy woman :-(

    Is there another way to solve this problem?
    And are there not places where you can buy a very appropriate motherboard for this laptop?

    Can someone help me please? My laptop worked perfectly and without any warning... poof... can not run more.

    Hello

    I can understand that you are not happy with the current situation. Nobody is happy if the computer starts to malfunction, but it of not always easy to tell which is the reason. For the exact diagnosis, you need professional tools and these tools available only to an authorized service provider.

    I get bored in your ad information is information about the operating system. Are you using the version preinstalled Windows and you have already collected your notebook back to factory settings? If not, you should do this to make sure that it s no software or driver that is causing the problem.

    If it still doesn't work you should get in touch with an authorized service provider and talk with the guys what they can do for you. I m, they can make you an offer for spare parts if you need them and a good price too of course. Just talk to the technicians is that as possible. ;)

  • Qosmio G40-12 s is not booting

    Hi John,.

    So for the time being, you are not able to start Windows, right?

    You can access the Windows Advanced Boot menu if you press the F8 key? If Yes, select Safe mode and try to start Windows.

    Additionally, make sure that both hard drives are recognized in the BIOS correctly. If Yes and Windows doesn t it starts, looks like that you have to do a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility because Windows is confused upward and can start to t.

    I hope that there is some good buddies out there that can save a window double glazing to be mullared by that lappy.
    I had (Qosmio G40-108 with 4 GB of RAM) since August 2007. Everything was fine until two weeks about where it kept crashing during the execution of a couple normal progs that I use.
    After reading several messages from buddies with similar problems, I think it might be the PCI express graphics. Is this good? I can swap out? Or advice, blaggs, ideas or suggestions are very welcome. :)

    * Do not forget: there is always someone worse off than you... *.
