How do I set up HP TouchSmart 600-1215xt with TV Tuner to Digital cable set top box?

I just purchased the HP TouchSmart 600-1215xt CTO Desktop PC with TV Tuner ATSC-NTSC w PVR & remote. I want to connect it to my HDTV cable set top box (Cox Cable) so I can record TV programs from digital cable and stream NetFlix video to my 52 in Samsung 1080p HDTV. Where can I find instructions for how to configure this set up?
Thanks in advance!

There is HDMI input with TV tuner
To expand on my post above, the TV tuner does NOT have HDMI input. If you read the User Guide that came with the TouchSmart (p.7, 8), the TV tuner's input is actually an F-type coaxial -- you either use an antenna for an ATSC signal (over-the-air) or NTSC *analog* cable (which is become more rare all the time). You set it up using Windows Media Center, page 18 through to top half of page 22 document how to connect a set top box using various analog (composite or s-video) cables. You can not use component and you can not use HDMI.

How do I connect my HP TouchSmart 600 to my HP 5000N printer

Hello; I am a navis at this and am not extremely technical.....but I have two printers.....HP LaserJet 5000N and HP 2840 Color LaserJet Printer. I also have a HP TouchSmart 600 desktop computer. I am trying to connect the 5000N printer to the desktop. Where do I start? Can I connect the two directly with wiring and/or cables.....or do I need some other piece of hardware? Help???!!!

The IQ506 does NOT have a video output, you will need to go to other aftermarket sources for a USB to "whatever video your TV needs" adapter.

How to change HDMI port settings from output to input to accept signals from cable/satellite box?

I have a new dv8t Entertainment PC with the HP Integrated HDTVHybrid Tuner. The instruction manual provides 2 ways to connect the laptop to a cable/satellite box: (1) coax/rf; or (2) HDMI. The coax is a no-brainer; got it up and running in 10 minutes. However, I am unable to get it to work connecting the HDMI cable, as the HDMI port on the laptop appears to be stuck in output mode. How do I change the configuration of the HDMI port to "input" so that it can accept signals from my cable box?

Thank you Grant for the quick response. Well, it seems I don't know what I'm doing.
So, Mac Pro doesn't have any video INPUTS just Outputs. CHECK.
That is correct I have a six-input-port-selector with one input (SWITCH C2G). CHECK.
What I want is to be able to toggle through the inputs from the HDMI Switch C2G. That way I can use all my devices (Mac Pro, Xbox, PS3, Cable Box) with these monitors.
Since the Switch C2G only has one OUTPUT Slot, I'm thinking I just need to connect the monitors to the Switch C2G Output slot by using a 2 to 1 HDMI Adapter, but wouldn't I lose the true potential of these monitors by not connecting them directly to the Mac Pro?
Currently, I have the monitors hooked up with Thunderbolt/Mini Display Adapters to the Mac. So I guess I would just have to run just one HDMI with Thunderbolt/Mini Display from the Mac to the Switch C2G, and connect the other devices to the Switch as well.
Jeez. Am I right?
What If I get an HDMI Switch with 2 Outputs instead of getting the 2 to 1 HDMI Adapter or perhaps a 4 to 2 Adapter. Heck. I'm not sure what to do here.
I would really appreciate anyones help.
Thank you.

How do you get the integer of a number with more than 10 digits

I can't seem to be able to get the integer of a number with more than 10 digits.
ex:
integer(12345678901.3) returns -539222987 when it should really return 12345678901
Thanks for the help
(I'm on director 11 at the moment)

You can write a Parent script to represent Big Integers. I wrote some code to get you started. It consist of two classes - "BigInt" and "Digit". At this point you can only add two "BigInts" and print out the value with a toString() function. Note that you pass a String to the "BigInt" constructor.
In the message window you could enter something like:
x = script("BigInt").new("999999999999")
y = script("BigInt").new("100000000000000000004")
z = x.add(y)
put z.toString()
And the output window will show:
-- "100000001000000000003"
Here are the two Parent scripts / Classes
-- Digit
property val
property next
on new me, anInt
val = anInt
next = 0
return me
end new
-- BigInt
property Num
property StringRep
on new me, aString
Num = script("Digit").new(Integer(aString.char[aString.length]))
curNum = Num
repeat with pos = aString.length - 1 down to 1
    curNum.next = script("Digit").new(Integer(aString.char[pos]))
    curNum = curNum.next
end repeat
return me
end new
on add me , Num2
curNum = Num
curNum2 = Num2.Num
result = curNum.val + curNum2.val
if result > 9 then
    carry = 1
else
    carry = 0
end if
result = result mod 10
sum = script("Digit").new(result)
curSum = sum
curNum = curNum.next
curNum2 = curNum2.next
repeat while curNum.ObjectP AND curNum2.ObjectP
    result = curNum.val + curNum2.val + carry
    if result > 9 then
      carry = 1
    else
      carry = 0
    end if
    result = result mod 10
    curSum.next = script("Digit").new(result)
    curSum = curSum.next
    curNum = curNum.next
    curNum2 = curNum2.next
end repeat
repeat while curNum.ObjectP
    result = curNum.val + carry
    if result > 9 then
      carry = 1
    else
      carry = 0
    end if
    result = result mod 10
    curSum.next = script("Digit").new(result)
    curSum = curSum.next
    curNum = curNum.next
end repeat
repeat while curNum2.ObjectP
    result = curNum2.val + carry
    if result > 9 then
      carry = 1
    else
      carry = 0
    end if
    result = result mod 10
    curSum.next = script("Digit").new(result)
    curSum = curSum.next
    curNum2 = curNum2.next
end repeat
StringRep = ""
me.makeString(sum)
return me.script.new(StringRep)
end add
on toString me
StringRep = ""
me.makeString(Num)
return StringRep
end toString
on makeString me, digit
if not digit then
    return
end if
me.makeString(digit.next)
put String(digit.val) after StringRep
end makeString

Any one know how to use TouchSmart 600-1055 blu-ray to output to TV?

I just bought TouchSmart 600-1055 with blu-ray today. Any one know how to output video and audio to larger TV?

If it is anything like the 600-1265qd, you may need to purchase a USB adapter to connect to a DVI or HDMI port on the TV. However, there are no HDCP-compatible USB connectors...

WiFi on TouchSmart 600-1350

I have a wireless network in my home and my desktop (HP TouchSmart 600-1350 Desktop PC) was connected to it and now it is not.
I have tried enable the wireless network (not found), I have disabled the ethernet connection (which there is no place to connect an ethernet to my desktop), and I have restarted my router and still nothing.
I have other comptuers and devices on this wifi network and they are all working fine.
How do I fix this?

Hello AngelicMarine:
             You reinstalled the software and drivers for the 802.ll LAN wireless . It still does not work. Things as you know eventually burn out. This means your wireless card is bad. No they are not easy to replace. Where you able to locate the port for internet cable? If so then that's is all you can use untill you call HP Direct Support and have them replace the wireless card and service your computer for any upcomimng hardware failers. I would not trust a thrid party computer repair shop breaking down the computer. To much is envolved just getting to Lan module one mishap could damaged your motherboard or bazel screen. Yes you are out of warranty the HP Derect Support will give you a set price for the replacing the Lan module it comes with a 1 year waranty. This is the good part if your computer comes back with any kind damages to it. HP has to and will fix them free of charge.
           My HP Touchsmart 600-1050 went in for a motherboard replacement the computer was returned to me damaged it had deep scratches in the bazzel screen and the touch screen was not working in sections so they had to replace it also the back support leg was cracked. They spent more money on this computer then what it is worth just in parts alone. Another poster is in the process of getting a new computer because HP Direct Support damaged it beyond repairs. Rember to always ask to speak to supper visors and do as little with phone tech operators . I am not allow to post HP's contacts here in forom moderators hate it. When call HP Direct support dial extension 79 ask to speak with the CTO, He will see to it that your computer is fixed.
       These computers are nothing like the old computers were like. It's bad enough just replacing the Optical drive . Have you ever removed the back cover of your computer? The Lan module is at the bottom and the antenna for it is near the web-cam. That's a lot of layers to break down lots of tiny screws and parts to remove and put back not an easy task.

Heating problem with HP TouchSmart 600-1050sc

Hi There..
Got this recurring problem on my HP TouchSmart 600-1050sc. (No changes made to org. config)
Every time i open more then 2 browser windows, or set up more than one game client, the cooling fan goes into a frenzy. ;o(
On my old stationary computer, I would rip the computer apart, and clean all cooling modules with cuetips and a small wacuumcleaner to bring down overheating, but on this mashine it's not the obvious task. (Well seems like it would be a humongous job)
Anyone have experienced same problems, and have a clever solution ?
Kind regards, Agger

I see that you are concerned over the heat coming off your Envy. 60 degrees isn't overly hot for a CPU but here is an HP support document on Reducing Heat Inside the PC to Prevent Overheating. It will show you how to clean out the inside of your notebook.

Touchsmart 600-1120 successfully upgraded to Windows 8 Pro

I just wanted to report my Touchsmart 600-1120 (BK139AA) was successfully upgraded from Win7 64 bit to Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, and I haven't run into any issues. Here are the steps I went though.
1. Made disk image backup using Win7 Backup and Restore.
2. Ran the Windows 8 advisor tool to have a record the computer passes minimum requirements and I had a list of what apps will no longer work. I did go ahead and removed all of them. I never did use those apps much anyways.
3. Ordered Windows 8 Pro upgrade DVD from Amazon. I potentially had multiple computers to upgrade, and wanted the DVD. Requested the free product key to unlock the Media Center add-on pack and received it in two days via email.
4. Made another disk image backup using Win7 Backup and Restore in the event a Win7 restore is needed.
5. Ready to upgrade. Inserted the 64 bit DVD, nothing happened. Manually launched Startup.exe on the DVD.
6. Selected option to upgrade Win7, keeping all docs and preferences and let it go. Took an hour or so, I didn't keep track. Rebooted a couple of times and responded to any prompts for info. When I received the logon screen for the first time, I ejected the upgrade DVD.
7. When I logged in for the first time, I had no issues with the touch driver. The touch was very reponsive. Played around for a while exploring a bit. It's actually lots of fun. I've never been exposed to an ipad or tablet, so this was the first time I've experienced a "tabletized" interface for lack of a better term.
8. Followed the instructions in the email to install and unlock the Media Center pack. It took a while to add the software. My only concern was if the AVerMedia TV card (A327) would work. After the install there was the normal Media Center icon shown on the app tiles. Launched it and had go through the process of setting up the TV tuner. Once it found the tuner card (yea!) I told it to use the existing preferences for channels and such and it worked like it did in Win7.
Launched Windows Update and it found a few things to update. I played around for a couple of hours to get familiar with the new interface, and how to display the old Win 7 desktop. It took me a while to figure out how to make an image backup. I had another computer handy with internet access and it was quicker to google to find answers to my questions. One of which is the option to use the familiar Win 7 backup and restore, so I made a new disk image with the new OS and stored it away.
I have this computer on the kitchen counter and use it mainly for TV watching while cooking and occasional recipe lookups. In the Windows store, there are some free recipe apps, like allrecipes.com. I installed a bunch of the free recipe and news apps. I don't know if I'd use the touch screen on a regular basis, although it is nice to have, it leaves lots of fingerprints, particuarily in a kitchen environment.
I'm very relieved I didn't run into hoops I had to jump thorough considering reading about Win8 upgrade issues others have experienced.

Hello, I was also able to go to Windows 8Pro, but have been unsuccessful trying to go to 8.1 or to 10, great PC feel I will need to restore it back to Windows 7. Have you been able to at least get it up to Windows 8.1? Thanks

Cant install any driver for Hp NVidia gt230 on Touchsmart 600-1055

Last few years I bought a HP Touchsmart oversea when I travelled to US then I brought it back to Australia. First couple months it was fine then one day I turned on the PC then It is just black screen after the window 7 boot screen then restart after few seconds. It keeps repeating that process unless I go to Safe mode and remove its NVidia driver and replace with window standard driver ( Video Controller VGA compatible) then I can boot up the window normally but cant use any program that require the delicated graphic card. I have tried hard to find its driver from every resources that I can find on the internet including Hp website and NVidia webiste but still again no luck. for 3 years I still cant find the driver for this that can make it working. What happened? is it my graphic card physically fault or because the software isusse? I forgot to mention that I even try to use the DVDs that I orders from HP USA and try to factory recovery but it is still having the same issue. I try to install many different version of window in cluding win 7 32&64 bits, Window 8 pro 64 bits then STILL NO LUCK. So could anyone please tell me what happened and how to fix it cause as I am aware that HP australia not support for HP USA product and I dont want to see my expensive desktop become a brick.
Thanks

I understand that you are having issues where you cannot use the higher end graphics card installed in your HP TouchSmart 600-1055 Desktop PC. The issue you are describing appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contacted HP technical support for repair options.
US support link to contact options for HP products purchased in the US.
Outside of US support link to contact options for HP products purchased outside the US.
Now just because you purchased the computer in Australia does not mean your warranty is not good in the US. I am providing you with a link to theHP Global Warranty and FAQs, which states the following:
HP Global Warranty covers HP products at the level of standard warranty offered in the country in which it is used. For example, a product purchased in country "A" and moved to country "B" receives the current warranty coverage provided by country "B" (if that product is marketed or supported in country B)
This means that your computer receives the same treatment in the US as a computer sold in the US. I would recommend you contact HP Technical Support to have your issue addressed.
