• Qosmio G20-115: TV Tuner missing 1 or 2 channels

  Hello
  Our qosmio g20 tv tuner missing 1 or 2 channels, I would understand if he did not get the channel with bad reception on our normal tv, but the channel is missing is one of the clearest of cases.
  I did the scan twice and still no luck.
  We have come an antenna on the roof and its been verified by a proffesional person and is in perfect order.

  Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  In this forum, I see many people who have problems with the reception of the G20.
  I can watch all English channels, but the quality is very poor.

  If you use the G20 as a desktop like me, forget the G20 tv tuner and buy a freeview box (35-40 pounds).

  "I get wonderful images of a free box satellite with a satellite dish, via s-video-in port"
  and also, wonderful images of a "digital terrestrial DTT box" with a normal antenna, via the "monitor-in port.

  If the antenna works fine with digital transmissions that are notoriously more difficult
  to receive, it would be essential to correctly receive analog transmissions and, in my case, this is true for a normal TV,
  but it is not true with the G20 TV card!

  Is possible that you need an adapter "SCART to RCA", depending on what output a your decoder.

  I can jump a decoder / to another using the utility:

  "All the programs/TOSHIBA/utilities/image Enhancement Utility.
  then I click on: 'Parameter input monitor' and I can choose: "Monitor-in" or "S-video-in.

  The G20 is a wonderful machine with a beautiful screen, but in my opinion, he has a weak tv card.

  Good bye

• Problems with Qosmio G20 and SuSE Linux 10.3 installation

  Hello

  I can't install SuSE Linux 10.3, because the hard drive will not be detected.
  I think it's the Software Raid... in the BIOS are only the options of Raid 0 and JBOD. When I changed to JBOD, it says I need to install the new os.
  Windows XP Professional is installed on the computer and I want to have a system to dual-boot with Open SuSE 10.3.
  How can I solve the problem?

  MfG

  Man... that's a really complicated problem.

  First of all, please consult this site unofficial toshiba official: http://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/linux/eng/pc/QosG20_report.htm

  West a complete report on your machine where all material etc. are described. The two entries on the bottom of the site describe the problem that you have.

  Another good friend called 'google' redirected me [THIS | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574116] site.

  You see, it s a problem since your RAID controller is not correctly recognized by some kernels/distributions.
  I have no perfect solution for you, but I propose to try another distro (since there are hundreds of them) who could probably work with your machine.

  The best would be to visit www.google.com and type something like "Qosmio G20 linux raid". Trust me, you will get many results. :)

  Keep rocking with linux ;)

• Video input with Qosmio G20-108 problems

  Hello
  I try to connect a video recorder/player for my Qosmio G20-108 and have had no luck so far.
  Tried the red-yellow-white cables that came with the laptop, can get sound via the laptop, but no image.

  Then tried the input cable tv/satellite of the RGB output on the video via Media Center but can't get the laptop to tune into the video signal - just says there is no signal detected even when the video player is on and play a tape.

  Any ideas anyone?
  Thank you, Rob.

  Hey everybody,

  I just installed vista on my laptop QOSMIO G20-102 (PQG20), I have media library now.
  My laptop came not like MEDIA CENTER EDITION, it came under the home edition of Windows XP (laptop purchased in July 2005).
  I got 3 cables which I have no idea how to use...
  laptop was purchased in Dubai/Emirates and I live in Malta

  These are the cables >
  http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/7189/dsc00780gi6.jpg

  Now for my question (s):
  1 which of these cables do I need? Im just trying to figure out how to get my satellite tv or digital cable to work on my laptop.
  2 antenna adapter (see picture) is not for coaxial cable, what can I do?
  3 I did WINDVR more due to the upgrade of vista, Media Center Gets the job done but I don't know what to do... This guide has confused me even more > http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/using/setup/settop.mspx

  Please, anything that can help is appreciated!
  If you need information more just ask, I am here ;)

  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: CPU too high with video usage

  Hello

  I've got G20 (2.13 Ghz processor) and nVidia 128 MB GeForce Go 6600 and I noticed that when you run video that my CPU utilization goes up high enough. View tv goes up to about 80%, video in media player substantially the same, but the video clips on Web sites and sites with video banner Web can get up to 100%.

  I don't know if this normal that I had not really noticed before, but lately, with this hot weather, I found that on the days hottest occasionally my system stopped, probably because the fan may not follow.

  My question is if these ages CPU usage % are normal for this system, or I have some setting wrong that puts the load on the processor and not the graphics card. Can someone tell me if I can check how the video processing is done by the graphics card or how I can assure that this is the work and only in passing on overloading the CPU.

  Thank you very much.

  PS I am running the latest drivers video for this machine, obtained from the Toshiba draft.exe page.

  Hi William

  I had a lot of experiences with Qosmio G20 and activity of the CPU under pressure. With the use of the highest processor unit was never overheated just a little harder because of cooling fan.

  As you know Qosmio G20 is powerful multimedia and video unit problem described in your message is really strange. If you wrote that you don't l l notice that before, I assume your personal configuration is responsible for this. On this path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. Try to check the processes running and at the end all of them you don't need. On this way the CPU use should be much lower.

• Question about (composite) TV on Qosmio G20

  Hello

  I can watch videos and play Xbox with composite with Qosmioplayer.
  But I have a problem to use Composite with programs like WinDVR and CyberLink PowerCinema, there is no image or its display to me and I do not know from the setting and I see (Toshiba PCI TV Tuner Type W) in Device Manager.
  So, how can I solve the problem :)?

  Boyfriend sorry but I really don't understand what you want. AFAIK composite-in cable allows you to transfer the signal from the external device in your Qosmio. I used it to connect my external VHS VCR to transfer the video signal and watch old movies on Qosmioplayer or MCE.

  Then maybe sounds stupid, but I don't understand what you want to do with the video signal and WinDVR or CyberLink PowerCinema. Can you please explain in detail what you want to do?

• Can I connect VHS Video Recorder for Qosmio G20 using the antenna in the Port?

  Hello.

  I connect my G20 a very old VCR. Can I connect it to the antenna in the port? Someone at - it tried? Because it will not need to buy a cable SCART. And for what I searched by linking to the video in Port, if I want to record the signal, I have WinDVD record I did more.
  So I was wondering if connect the VCR to the antenna port. I'll be able to find and record the VHS signal on media center?
  Thank you

  I already tried on S - video In and I get black screen

  More: When I connect the laptop to a TV it works only via the S-video port. When I use the D-video port it simply doesn't work. The black screen.

  Of course you can do it. On this Qosmio laptop TV tuner works on the same principle as usual TV. You can watch movies on Qosmioplayer or using Media Center Edition VHS. In both cases start movie VHS and let Qosmioplayer or MCE sweep all TV channels. On one of them, you will see the picture of VHS VCR.

  All that s. I tested it with Qosmioplayer and MCE too. It works without any problem. I also tested recording option. This also works. Later, I edited material recorded and created DVDs.

  With short words: with Qosmio G20, you can do whatever you want. It's really good multimedia laptop.

• Keyboard with Qosmio G40-108 problems

  Hello
  I have a problem with the keyboard trying to enter text. While typing I put funds, or emails or any where on the computer typing stops.
  I have to re-click in barely end I'm typing.
  It happens every time I have press the SPACEBAR key tab and enter the return key.

  All third party software is supposed to be compatible with vista. I had real problems with Qosmio G20 for 14 months, which eventually led to me have replace it with this machine.
  Other than typing I havnt had any other problems yet.

  I don't want to go back but can't seem to find a lot of online help

  Hi Symon

  To be honest, for me, it is not easy to understand what problems you have, but it will be interesting to know if you have type the problem using the Windows Notepad or Microsoft Word. Or even if you type something to open the window Internet explorer, like passwords, or perhaps the mails.

  Third party software you can be sure that everything will work perfectly.
  For more questions you can, during the initial contact, your local dealer. Maybe they can better understand exactly what is happening.

• Qosmio G20 - update Tuner TV digital?

  Hello

  I have the Qosmio G20 and unfortunately it only support analog TV. I wrote to the Japan Toshiba here and they said that it is not possible to upgrade the G20 to digital television.

  It is the official manufacturer of advice, but as I know from experience, there is always another way around these things using third-party hardware and software.

  Anyone have any ideas on how this could be done?

  Hello

  The Qosmio G20 series was delivered with different hardware compatibility.
  Some of the G20 has been delivered with a TNT antenna + analog hybrid TV Tuner and DVB - T and other G20 supports only analog TV.

  Well, if your computer laptop doesn t supports digital Tv then you can try to use the tuner TNT + external.
  I sure you will find plenty of m offers in the internet.

• Qosmio G20 with Intervideo WinDVR3

  Hello

  I have a laptop Qosmio G20/395LS (purchased at the Japan) that since I converted to English Windows XP Pro SP2. I then downloaded all the drivers from Toshiba on the site of Toshiba UK, choosing the Qosmio PQG20, which is the closest model from my Japanese version. (The Toshiba to the Japan site is not all drivers available for download, that's why I used the site of Toshiba UK.)

  In any case, all functions work perfectly, except that I canoe use Intervideo WinDVR3 to watch television. It recognizes the Composite inputs and S-video but not the antenna TV input option. I have a normal TV antenna cable connected to the Qosmio and can watch TV with other software such as Qosmio Player, Windows Media Center and same Intervideo Home Theater. But not with WinDVR3 (Im using the latest version downloaded from the Web site of Interviodeo.) I don't like Windows Media Center or Intervideo Home Theater and Qosmio Player not use that by cutting off the power supply, so I defintely want to use Intervideo WinDVR.

  I contacted Intervideo, and they said that my hardware is certainly consistent, but I must have the correct WDM driver installed for the TV Tuner to operate correctly the WinDVR. Im not sure what is a WDM driver, but looks like I need to download the correct driver for the TV Tuner on this Qosmio.

  I checked Toshiba Japan website, but I saw no TV Tuner driver to download it. Ive tried a few of the drivers TV Tuner for the different models on the Web sites of UK and US Toshiba, but WinDVR still does not recognize the option antenna TV.

  Can someone point me to the right driver WDM driver that I need to get this software WinDVR3 will?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Toshiba doesn't recommend that you install the graphics drivers 3rd or any additional graphics accelerator. This may damage the video card or the motherboard.
  On the Toshiba driver page, you will find all the WDM drivers. Only the Tv tuner and graphics drivers.

  I don't know if the WinDVR is supported by Mr. antenna interface I've never checked.
  However, I found this site. If you wish, you can consult this site on WDM driver:
