How do I get the TV to work on B540?

I have a B540 and would like to enable the TV function, but I cannot find the instructions anywhere.  The model does not have the TV buttons down the side, but the PC label states it has an integrated TV tuner, and there is a UK arial port on the back.  I have read other postings over Avermedia cards etc, but I need to find very basic instructions for what to do.  Do I need to buy and arial?  Then what do I do?  Can anyone help me to set this up?

hi fionamcmillan,
The Ideacentre B540 that comes with a TV Tuner usually comes with a TV button on the right side, and a remote control (the tv button opens up a TV software where it outputs the tv channels).
To use the TV Function:
1. Ensure that you have the TV Tuner driver installed from the Lenovo Website (see device manager > Sound, video and game controllers)
2. Connect a DVB-T antenna into the TV connector (if you have a digital box, see this guide)
3. if you don't have the TV button, setup Live TV in Windows Media Center (see this guide)
If you have a remote control, check page 23 of the User Guides for more info
Hope this helps

    If it's not available in your country and you do not have a copy of it in iTunes backed up on your computer, you don't.

    I am experiencing exactly the same issue - iMac, 10.6.8.  Thanks for reporting it - I thought I was going nuts.  What happens from here?  Does Apple watch these postings?  Do we just hope that they find the bug themselves?  Is there a vehicle for reporting bugs directly to Apple?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

    In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
    I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

  • How can i get the SSO to work successfully?

    How can i get the SSO to work successfully?  I followed the note for configuring infoview with ad sso using kerveros & .net.
    Adding the AD group into the win ad authentication configuration page creates the user group but the members of the group aren't being pulled in when I go to the group and select / query the users tab

    Bart,
    By default the setting for update options on the Windows AD tab of authentication does not actually create the aliases until the user attempts to login the first time. We set it this way to prevent a huge group of alias's being created when the administrator sets up Windows AD and also so that only user aliases for users actually using the system get created.  You can change this behaviour though if you like.  Simply change the radio button option to 'New Aliases will be added and new users will be created' this will create the accounts for you when you hit the update button.  If you have a large group your adding I would wait until and afterhours time when you have less activity as this will impact CMS performance while it creates all the accounts.

  • How do i get the bluetooth to work om My 3GS?

    How do i get the bluetooth to work on My 3GS?

    File transfers over BT are not a feature of the iPhone. There are some apps in the App Store that will let you transfer photos from one iOS device to another. There may also be some that will allow music. Search the App Store and read the reviews before buying.
    For what it's worth, file transfer over BT is very slow.

  • I recently stopped a download of most recent OIS.. Phone is now displaying the charging cord and itunes icon.  how do i get the phone to work again.

    I recently stopped a download of the most current IOS-  I powered off the phone.  It now displays a charging cord with an arrow to an itunes icon.  How do I get the phone to work again.  Not near a computer with my itunes account and do not wish to continue the download.

    You will have to try a recovery mode restore, for what you need a computer with the latest version of iTunes.

  • How do I get the m3g package working under wtk2.2?

    How do I get the m3g package working under wtk2.2? When I try to build applications which use the package, the toolkit can't find it, although the .jar file is in WTK2.2/lib (jsr184.jar). But none of the scripts in WTK2.2/bin reference the file. I have tried adding classpath references to the jar file in all of the bin sripts, but I still get 'package does not exist' messages when I try to build, e.g., Redikod's M3GMIDlet. i have of course tried putting the jar file in the 'res' directory for the application.

  • How do y get the sound to work.

    How do I get my sound to work.

    I assume you have an iPad.
    It would help if you give some information in your profile or your post about equipment, operating systemversion and so on.
    If you are new to iPad:
    Go to Settings, choose the "general" line in the left panel, then you will see the "Use side switch to:" possibilities.
    Check the side Switch position.
    Underneath the General is the Sounds settings, iy look there look at the most upper setting at the right.
    Happy new year.
