  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 102: problem RAID the installation of windows xp media center

  First of all I did not the raid driver for my qosmio. I tried the RAID of Qosmio G20, another pilot but when it reached the stage when I ask windows to format the C driver it shows me an error. It is said that there is an error in the KR10N file and it stops there.
  Please help me and thank you.

  Hello

  It seems that the Qosmio G20 102 belongs to the series of PQG20E.
  Research on the European driver Toshiba page I found the RAID for Windows XP MCE driver v1.03.0008 (can also be used with XP Pro).

  You will need an external USB FDD to include this driver in the operating system.
  But note; After installing the RAID driver you shouldn't t format the HARD disk or create a new partition, because that will remove the RAID driver from the HARD disk and installing the OS fails!

  I hope I could help you would also appreciate a feedback ;)
  Best regards

• Question about updating the BIOS for Qosmio G20

  I downloaded the updated the BIOS of my pc, not the Qosmio, the instructions say it will unpack into 3 files, one being a floppy disk installation. When I unzip on my desktop pc, it makes a file that s too big for a floppy and he won t unzip further because it locks up my pc.

  Is it safe to make it work on my desktop pc it can unzip then in the three files and this will affect my BIOS or y at - it somewhere that I can download the floppy part on its own to load on a floppy?

  Hello

  Just a question;
  You have downloaded the Qosmio G20 BIOS on the desktop computer, unpacked and now you want it please on the diskette in the floppy drive.
  Is this good?

  So now my suggestion;
  Firstly that the Qosmio G20 BIOS and other BIOS Toshiba cannot be updated using the floppy! This isn't traditional BIOS!
  The BIOS from the Toshiba page must be updated when the Windows operating system is running!

  By the way: you can unpack the BIOS on your desktop computer, but don t try to run all files, because the bad BIOS can damage the motherboard ROM module!

• Updated tv card Qosmio G20 105

  My beloved G20-105 came with an analog TV Tuner card and I want to update card Tuner TV DVB - T.

  Is it possible and simple it is to get out the old and its replacement by a new?

  Also where can I get one?

  Hello

  In my opinion that's not really easy I think that it s not worth trying it.
  Why? Because the TV tuner module is hidden somewhere in the notebook.

  You will need to disassemble the whole to get access to this module.
  You also need a compatible TV tuner module and a new Board of antenna that would correspond with the layout of the motherboard Qosmio G20.

  These modules are not cheap and I think an external solution like USB DVB - T stick would be much cheaper and better solution for you.

• Cannot start update BIOS on Qosmio G30

  Hello

  I ve a Qosmio G30-188 (PQG30E) and after a few problems and a few messages that I read on the internet I wanted to update my BIOS. So I went to the page of the selected Toshiba driver my laptop downloaded the update to the BIOS, but it does not work.

  Whenever I get the error that this BIOS is not supported for my computer. After some more try to install it, I started to wonder. Then I found the option where a Toshiba tool can find what laptop you automatically. So it has detected the same laptop I chose before and the BIOS-update, he gave, it was the same that I already found.

  So I got the same problem again.
  The version of the BIOS that I have is: acpi bios ver 1.40

  Someone has ideas how to upgrade the BIOS?

  Hello

  What kind of problems do you have? Perhaps, the update of the Bios is unnecessary at all.

• Question about updating driver on Qosmio G20

  Hey

  I have been informed that I am need a driver updated for my video card but don't know which driver to download or to where search? Would be grateful if someone could help us with that!

  It seems that your information source is bad enough if you get only half of the news. How to help if your display bright does not offer any relevant info? For example, what laptop Qosmio you have and what operating system you are using.

• Qosmio G20 - 102 Shutting down unexpectedly

  Hello
  I've known a lot of problems with my computer laptop qosmio, this all started in the summer 2004, since then ive sent several times to the dealer of Toshiba to Malta, taho. And they said it worked perfectly well when they tested. Quite strange, indeed.
  I remembered about it since his stupid enough to let a such good laptop to lose a few days ago.
  So now, on the issue.
  A small prgram called thotkey.exe appears in my taskbar, even if no real window opens. And after that, I have about 2 seconds before my screen blanks out and stops the pc.
  I thought to sell the laptop several times, but no one wants to buy it because of its problems.

  And what happens if you use a supplied recovery media and install new OS (factory settings)? This is the problem?
