Digital antenna for Toshiba model 27A41

I recently cancelled cable service due to ever increasing rates and returned their cable box and I want to know if I can connect a new digital TV antenna to my Toshiba model 27A41 with serial # XXXXXXXXX and get local television reception, or do I need to get an additional converter box and connect it to the tv or the antenna and if so which box do I need to buy. The owners manual says year 2000 and I cannot find any info as to whether it is digital ready or not. Thank you for any help.
[Moderator edit to remove serial number.]

Hi Peter,
I have similar question as above, getting off cable. Have a combo TV and DVD player (Toshiba model 15LV 505 which assume is able to receive over-the-air transmitted signals without converter box, simply using antenna from Radio Shack. Is this correct? Or do I have to get a "digital converter box" even though the set is already a digital set? Isn't it OTA ready? With remote operation, unable to find "channel search" for OTA signal. Where is it? Or does this set just not get OTA signals? Or will it get OTA signals with a converter box? Why so complicted for such a simple situation?

Looking for a high gain portable digital antenna for HP Pavilion DV7

Hi guys,
I bought a PAVILION DV7-3160 eh laptop this year. It has DVB-T MPEG-4 digital HDTV tuner originally made by Avermedia.
There is a problem that the digital signal is very poor at my living place. (It will be reduced until turning analog signal down finally. It will happen only 2 years later but I do not want to wait 2 years to watch digital TV channels.)
I have decided to plug a third party digital antenna to my laptop instead of the brand HP antenna.
I have founded in the Ebay a lot of digital (active and passive) arials but I don’t know what types are the best to my HP.
I’m helpless as the user manual tell nothing about technical details of TV tuner and it’s antennas.
I give preference to the high gain active antennas with built-in amplifier but these arials good for DVB-T USB stick and its are required 5V or more voltage. There are two types of arials, one is 50 ohm and the other is 75 ohm. (I have a conversion cable on the end a connector which is fit to my laptop (50 OMH) and on the other end a coax cable female connector(75 OMH) This two types is a little bit annoying.)
What are your opinions about this active type of antennas? Are these antennas compatible with my DV7?
Can provide DV7’s antenna connector the needed power to gain signal or the passive types are only suitable for my notebook? And what type would be better 50 or 75 OMH?
I would be glad if you answer my questions suggested me some useful portable antennas what are you using to your HP laptops.
Thanks in advance.

Could you explain what have you wanted to tell me with this link?
I have clicked on it but I could not find any information on the subject. Thanks.

My Sony Bravia KDL-40CX520 does not have a coaxial input for my digital antenna...

What can I do if my tv has no coaxial input for my digital antenna?
Thanks...
Update: I found a Euro connector which got me the connection I needed. However, I am still unable to locate any digital antenna channels within the 50 mile radius of the antenna/w amplifier.

Normally you hold down the 0 (zero) key while powering up the system to invoke the hard drive based recovery process. Specifics are covered in your User's Guide which is on your hard drive in Adobe Acrobat Format or can be downloaded from the Canadian Product Support Site for your model.

Samsung LCD TV... Need a good Digital Antenna?

I have a 46" Samsung LCD HDTV (Model #LN46C670). We just purchased an RCA Multi-Directional Amplified Digital Flat Antenna to try and pick up our local channels over the air. I followed the installation instructions to the letter and made sure the settings on the TV were correct but we were still unable to pick up any channels. Anyone else had any luck with digital antennas? What are some of the brands/models you have successfully used with this TV or one like it? Thanks in advance for your help!

What digital antennas have others used with this specific TV and had success?
There is no difference between a digital antenna and an oldschool analog one whatsoever. It's all marketing BS. The ONLY change to antenna requirements with the digital transition was that antennas no longer need to cover the old 700 MHz TV band - but the performance gains obtainable for redesigning an antenna to not cover those bands any more is so negligible that no one has done it to my knowledge.
http://www.antennaweb.org/ - You can put your address in here and determine what size class of antenna you need. Also, don't bother with RCA antennas, they're crud. Similarly, nearly all antennas with built-in preamps are crud. I haven't seen a single one that published noise figure specifications for their preamp, which says they have something to hide. In most cases they don't even publish specs for the gain of the antenna itself.
Note that the above site can sometimes be inaccurate if you have oddities in your local terrain. Also, if your antenna is indoors, the construction (materials, etc) of your home are important as is whether the antenna is on the side of the house facing the TV stations.

HP Media Smart not recognizing Digital Antenna after upgrading to Windows 7

HP Pavilion dv6t-1200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista and ever since I cannot seem to have HP Mediasmart recognize the digital formats for signal input. It only shows analog cable and analog antenna.
I also seem to have lost the all-in-one navigation tools from where I can choose if I need tv or dvd, etc.
I tried upgrading the driver for the tuner as recommended by HP Assistant but it does not seem to work. I also tried upgrades from the following page recommended by HP for my system:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=4063&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3945150
I used to get more channels with HP Media Smart than with Windows Media Center. Btw, Windows Media Smart works just as fine after the upgrade.
Please help. Thanks.

Here is a copy of my reply to this problem in another post.
This may be of no help but here goes. I am not a real computer person. Anyway I had the same problem and also lost the digital part of my tuner when I downloaded the W7 mediasmart live TV. After a lot of attempts to fix stuff I uninstalled Mediasmart live TV. It worked. Next I downloaded the W7 live TV. Installed but could not find it. Desperate I restored the Vista version from the partition. Could not find that either. Next I did a search (start menu) for mediasmart live tv. One thing was found which I clicked on. It appears another install took place.
Now Live TV works and I get full screen. Also my tuner went back to analog antenna/cable and digital antenna/cable (QAM). I really have no explaination for this but I'm back with W7. Can't find a version number but it's 71 mb in size at
c:\program files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\media\live tv"
Dumb luck
So that's what happened. I think the uninstall had something to do with solving the problem. Why I could not find the W7 download is beyond me. I was at a point where I didn't think I could make it worse so I thought I'd try anything. No TV problems with Windows Media Center during any of this.

Right Angle 90-degree Power Adapter Connector Converter for TOSHIBA Qosmio X875-Q7290

Hello, I am having problems with my power connector not staying in it's socket allready!!The laptop is on a small table and the laptop is only used a few times a week!Is there a Right Angle 90-degree Power Adapter Connector Converter for TOSHIBA Qosmio X875-Q7290?I think this would help solve the problem. Thank You

Get an aftermarket universal charger, perhaps? Their connectors are mostly right-angle. I have some iGo Green model that looks like this but is an older model. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834993922

Picture Tweaks/Calibration for TOSHIBA 32C100U 32" LCD

I just bought and hooked up a 32" LCD TV from Toshiba, model C100U and am looking to get help with calibration tweaks in order to achieve the best picture and performance possible. I'm hoping someone will be able to provide assistance...fingers crossed...
TV Info: http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-32C100U-32-Inch-Black-Gloss/dp/B0038JED6M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=12919...
I've noticed that at I see some brief red-hued ghosting/picture lag on occasion in my picture; this has happened both with basic coax cable connection and when watching a DVD. I am a graphic designer with a very sensitive eye for detail, so this bothers me, while others may not even notice it; nevertheless, I'd like to alleviate it if at all possible. Is this normal? What can I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

My parents have a 37-inch Toshiba, I have experienced the same problem when watching movies via the Dell laptop. It happens both in VLC player and Windows Media Player, and I am using a VGA cable to connect to the TV. The problem was still there when we used an S-video cable. It sounds like it might be something about these Toshiba TVs.

Upgrade for this model?

Is there an upgrade for the airport extreme card/antenna/software for this model? I don't see my iMac listed in the 802.11n software support. I am tired of having such a weak signal, where using interference robustness does nothing. My husband's work laptop gets a full signal in the exact location of the desktop so it is not an airport base station problem. Please help before I throw the whole thing out the window!

Yes, welcome strawberryg!
If your desktop stays in the same place, you might take a look at ethernet powerline adapters. Ideally, the very best connection is a continuous ethernet wire from the Extreme to your computer. Second best, would be ethernet adapters that use the wiring in your home to transmit an ethernet signal.
One device would plug into an AC socket near the Extreme and a short ethernet cable would connect those two devices. At the desktop end, another adapter plugs into an AC socket and a short ethernet cable from that device plugs into your computer. My experience is that these work almost as well as a straight ethernet cable between devices and overall, much better than wireless.
Best Buy will have several brands to choose from. For more info, try a google search under "ethernet powerline adapters"
Hope this may provide some help.

Patch for error code 2131 when burning CDs in itunes for Toshiba computers:

Just today, Toshiba posted patch for the infamous "error code 2131" when trying to burn CDs in itunes on many Toshiba laptops. Lucky for me, today was the first time I tried to do so, but I feel for all you other folks who have been very frustrated about this issue. Here is the link to it on the Toshiba support page:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/susc_dtlViewDL.jsp?soid=2024958&moid=1909174&rpn=PSAF3U&BV_SessionID=@@@@043462335 6.1208403240@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccgadedlgfhkdecgfkceghdgngdgnn.0&ct=DL&alldocs=false
I'm going to install it now and report back if there is anything tricky about it (I read in another forum that someone had already gotten the patch and had posted a link to it at a private website where there were a few different options and you had to figure out which was the right one, but this should be easier and "official")
Hope this helps!

Dell Inc. Dell DM051
hmmmmm. i'm proceeding under the assumption that you've got a Dell 5150/E510. if i'm wrong about that, please check in with Dell to confirm your model prior to applying any updates.
i had a look at the support site for your model (or at least, what i'm assuming your model is). your firmware appears to be up to date for the HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164B that you're getting the error on, but there does seem to be newer firmware available for the SONY DVD-ROM DDU1615. so it might be worth getting that, just in case there some kind of odd interaction happening between the drives.
Dimension 5150/E510
otherwise, we'd better check on some of the other usual suspects with this sort of thing:

Looking for Toshiba C55DT-A5306 drivers

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C55DT-A5306 has a 64-bit AMD processor and it had Windows 8 pre-installed.
After realizing I didn't like Windows 8, I completeled wiped it out, disabled secure boot and enabled CSM in order to install Windows 7.
The operating system is running and it boots up perfectly, although I'm missing my drivers.
This site's driver download links are currently not working. Also, I noticed someone recommended using the Toshiba Europe site. Unfortunately, I can't find a computer close to my part #. My first 5 letters are PSCFWU.
Perhaps Im' exhausted of contacting Toshiba Customer Support and hearing the same response "It'll be up in an hour or two.".
Can someone please help?

General guidance for someone who might be attempting a windows 7 downgrade for this model - what worked for me.
Flashed bios to 1.4 to ensure preloaded version 1.80 wasn't optimized for a windows 8 efi environment - made no difference. (to test - no need)
Have to access advanced boot options from window 8 to get to the bios to turn off secure boot and enable legacy os
Used a third party tool on another machine (extracting the hard drive) to clean/format hard drive
Installed valid copy of windows 7 via usb tool
Included AMD Catalyst/chipset drivers loaded via usb (display adapter registers as AMD Radeon HD 8400/R3 series vs the toshiba prepackage AMD Display Driver standard vga) from the AMD site
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+7+-+64
(have to download the AMD chipset driver under the optional download tab also)
To get WIFI working - from Realtek - RTL8188CE driver worked for me
http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownType...
To get LAN working - from Realtek - PCIe Gigabit Ethernet NIC v7.092
http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeI...
From the Toshiba Support Site, the rest of the drivers found there.
http://support.toshiba.com/support/driversResults?freeText=1200007499
tc50155400e - smart card (although this device reports as working properly, tos1901 listed under problem devices hints this driver might need some work)
tc50158600d - Realtek Audio Driver (the DTS utility, along with this download - found to be superior to preload windows 8 sound quality and overall experience where ordinarily prefer not to resort to the use of software eq)
tc50156300g - for the Touchpad, etc - Synaptics Touchpad Driver
AMD Chipset drivers should be loaded first - installation can get finicky - on fail reinstall with attention to order of drivers loaded
Tried a few applications, Office/CS - a few youtubes - with windows 7 loaded seems to have some utility.Would prefer SSD over drive space and if it had a quality keyboard - would be happy.

Using Consumer Digital Camera for the Vision System

I am evaluating, if I can use a consumer digital camera for the vision system. I wanted to see if anybody out there have done that in past? The other question is, do the consumer camera manufacturers provide the driver software in order to retrive the images directly from the camera to the computer ?

I think your suggestion is right, using a firewire camera is much
straightforward. But some consumer cameras have advantages too because
of the very high resolution, especially the newer models of digital
still camera. If the cameras support PTP protocol, then I have a
LabVIEW driver for them. Check out more details at:
