IdeaCentre B310 with Built-in digital tv - channel access problems

Hi - new to all this and not very technical so please bear with me.... (see, I can't even insert an emoticon!)
I can only access 17 channels, several unnamed, using Windows Media Center, so I bought a digital aerial to see if I can pick up analogue channels (whilst they are around). Aerial is "SLX DigiTop" but this has made no difference. As there are no instructions (that I can see) other than the process that Windows Media Center takes you through, I need your help getting all the digital channels - which is one of the main reasons I bought this type of PC.

hey seashivers,
have you downloaded the latest TV Tuner software yet?

Replaced failed HDD Sat. L455-5000 with new Western Digital 320 SATA drive-problems with recovery

Original HDD died. Replaced it with new WD 320 SATA from Best Buy-nice drive-good reviews. Used Recovery Center DVD's I had burned earlier. Three with Toshiba Recovery 2 with Windows Recovery Envrinoment and DRivers/Apps.
Toshiba REcovery only asked for first 3. Computer restart after Recovery Install(First Three Disks) gives error message:
File: \windows\system32\DRIVERS\LPCFilter.sys
Status: 0xc0000428
WIndows Cannot Verify Digital Driver Signature.
Windows Boot Manager "screen" always comes up and Windows fails to start.
1.Asking for a windows installation disk-thought this was given in Toshiba Recovery DVD's I burned.
2. Chosse language settings-click next
3. CLick " repair your computer."
I thought the Toshiba Recovery Disks were supposed to install everything for me. I don't have a sparate windows system disk. Never burned one
Any help woud be great.
Thanks,
Charles

Time for some good news.
I received and installed an OEM WD 250 (Toshiba) replacement drive. After loading the recovery disks this morning-it worked perfectly-just like "out of the box."
It was the HDD failure after all. No software gliches at all. Windows update of course is attempting to re-load about 500 updates. LOL. I also learned to spread them out in groups of 10-20 long ago as well. This will take some time; but the laptop is running fine.
So I learned some great lessons. 1)-stick with OEM replacement hardware-computers are "locked in time" to a definite hardware configuration that works well at that time in history. 2) If I had not used my own "decision" tree to problem solve-I'd still have a dead computer. 3) I was correct to order an external drive enclosure to test the bad drive after I was unable to do so with the laptop. 4)I made the right choices to contact the Western Digital Drive support to find out the new drive really might also be the problem. 5) It was also great to be able to get such amazing help on this forum too-what a great resource for Toshiba owners. 6)Finally-I was able to "chat" with the Toshiba Rep. online to confirm the OEM part number of the WD drive they had used-and ordered -cheaper- from Amazon.com.
7) After 2 weeks of my own time(and great online resources) and $80.00-I fixed my laptop myself. Never had to mail it anywhere.
8) I also ended up with a great external backup drive-that I was always too lazy-and cheap-to order for myself before. LOL.
9) Now what about the Toshiba OEM Graphics card that the "Windows Experience Survey' always says I need to replace? Nope -not going there -yet.
Thanks for all the help-
Sincerely,
Charles

Problems with built-in camera. maybe just problems with photo booth?

My camera works fine in video chat, like with skype, but in photo booth the effects don't work properly. The menus of effects are scrambled and instead of the squares of previewed effects that you select from, I only see warped images and text. When I select an effect, the camera is either zoomed in oddly, or the picture frame is shifted over halfway over to the left to the point where I can't see part of the image. The rest of the screen is either green or black when the latter happens.
I have re-installed the newest version of photo booth several times, but this problem keeps coming up-- it was like this when I first got it. I have also tried to find the file where the preferences are kept, but it doesn't seem to exist.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I just figured out that problems I was having with iSight were because of a widget I had downloaded ... it's basically a 'mirror' widget ... it would play in the background ... and was disabling the iSight camera (message like 'you can't use PhotoBooth because you have another application open etc) ... doesn't sound like this is your problem but just for reference in case anybody else is having problems and has that widget you have to lose the widget to be able to use iSight.

Re: Dolby Digital 2-Channel editing?

I've recorded a video with a Dolby Digital 2-Channel track. When I drop in into the timeline in Premiere Pro CS5.5, can I edit each discrete left and right channel separately? If so how?

I assume you're referring to AC3 audio? Before using the clip in a sequence, right-click > Modify > Audio Channels, and select the Mono radio button. This will map the left stereo channel to Mono Track #1, and the right stereo channel to Mono Track #2.
Again: do this before using the clip in a sequence.

Built-in Digital Input - Tap Tap Tap Noise

Hi Guys,
Can someone out there confirm the following as normal behaviour or
otherwise -
Using Linein software (by rogue amobia) when i select "Built-in Digital Input: Digital In" as the input source and output this to "Defaul System Output" I get a loud tap, tap, tap ..... sound (it runs constantly), I also get this in Sound Studio when I select Digital Input as the source.
I have nothing connected to the Digital input of this computer so why do I get this tapping noise???
Thanks In Advance
Lee

I've had problems connecting my computer to my cable box as well. Comcast apparently disables some of the functions on its boxes. Call your cable company. It's most likely a problem with your box, not your computer.
Good luck and if you find the problem let me know.

Digital waveform channel names are incorrect

I create a task at runtime where the user selects which physical digital input channels to use and the names for each. I then sample these digital inputs and write the waveforms to a TDMS file. The file has the correct data, but only the first channel has the correct name. Attached is example code that shows the problem. What am I doing wrong? I do a similar setup for analog inputs and it works fine.

Digital Channel Names.vi ‏89 KB

How are you entering the names? Here is text straight from the LabVIEW Help
name to assign specifies a name to assign to the virtual
channel this VI creates. If you do not wire a value to this input, NI-DAQmx uses
the physical channel name as the virtual channel name. If you use this input to
provide your own names for the virtual channels, you must use the names when you
refer to these channels in other NI-DAQmx VIs and Property Nodes, such as the
source input of the DAQmx Trigger
VI.
If you create multiple virtual channels with one DAQmx Create
Virtual Channel VI, you can specify a comma-separated list of names to assign to
the virtual channels. If you provide fewer names than the number of virtual
channels you create, NI-DAQmx automatically
assigns names to the virtual channels.
Are you entering multiple names seperated by a comma?

Soundblasters with on-board digital out

i want to upgrade my ancient sbli've and im using speakers that only accept creative digital out for surround sound.
i looked at the cards currently in the shops within my budget ($00AU) then look at the specs on here and NONE seem to have on-board digital out? is this right? Audigy Value,Audigy 2 Value and Audigy 4 non Pro all do not have on board digital out?Message Edited by spanket on 04-0-20060:36 AM

If you need digital I/O, or access, there is a add-on module in the
"Acessories" Category of their Shopping Link that you can plug into the Digital In...which provides both SPDIF (Coaxial) and Optical Connectivity for your and up to the newest X-Fi. Unfortunately, all my excitement as I did order one of these ($4.99, actually cheap for a change) have been deflated. As to being able to finially link up all my digital ouputs to run through my Shuttle system to hear my DVD's Digital Output and Cable TV DTS or Dolby 5., EX, etc. have been dismal at best. For it will not connect in DTS or Dolby, only in a simulated CMMS 3D downmix seems possible. How can this company get away with touting...Dolby DTS, Dolby EX, etc all over their boxes and it does not even handle such capabilities...and if it does...PLEASE PASS IT ON CREATIVE... I have been dealing with your nonesene for years and decided to give it another chance. BUT...as usual, the SOS....different label..that's all.
PLEASE, if you get this, it just offers a hole to plug it in....doesn't mean your gettting the whole DTS or Dolby EX experience....just a simulated CMSS 3D Garbage, (BTW..if you get nothing with this adapter, enable CMSS...then you will at least get a sound out of this)....with a rediculously FAINT middle channel, for what...OH ONLY THE VOICES of the soundtrack that's all....a joke..
Please respond if you know better.....
Thanks....

Using a different webcam with Intel iMac with built-in isight cam.

Hi...I hope someone can shed some light on this.
I have an intel core duo iMac 20 with built-in isight.
I use Yahoo Messenger (the new version) and have no problems getting my isight to work with it.
For most circumstances, the built-in isight is fine... but sometimes having a camera with a zoom feature and the ability to pan further up or down would be most beneficial.
I also own a usb Logitech (pro-4000) webcam (the last series for which they have Mac support) and have installed the latest Mac drivers for it. I can get the Logitec to run its built-in applications, but when I try to select a webcam to use for Yahoo (in the yahoo preferences webcam section), the only selection available to me is the built-in isight.
Is there any way to get the option to choose between the Logitech and the isight?
Thanks for any help you can give me...

Problem with my brand new mp3 player Zen Stone Plus 2GB ( with built in speaker )

Hi .
I have purchased the following Zen Stone Plus 2GB with built in speaker on 24.06.2008.
From day one, it had a charging problem . Initial charging it'snever go beyond 87%.
After using it for 2 days, at the time of recharging , I found my player won`t get dectected in my PC .
I took the set to the vendor for a checkup . He tried to solve it by resetting , formating etc. But he could only able to to format it's sacrificing its 50% of its allocated space.
My vendor then changed the set with a brand new one, againts that faulty one .
Now the new one worked well for 3 - 4 days , but it is now totally dead .
But the set did not give any indication before it become completely dead.
A few dust particles inside the LCD screen was also observed. I can`t understand how come dust particles can enter inside
a player which is sealed box pack .
Next issue is with the battery which CREATIVE promised of giving a backup of approx 20 hrs of continious playback , which with minimal scuffling and with minimal settings lasted for 0 hrs approx ( 50% less than promised ).
Another thing that i must state is the problem of FM Reception . It is simply terrible . In the same area where my mobile's FM reception is fine , Zen Stone's FM failed to give any reception .
I came to know about Zen Stone Plus from of my friend , who is using Zen Stone Plus GB without any problem for long time.
Pls tell me what to do now, since my player is compleately out of order now , and pls suggest me something regarding the issue of battery backup , FM reception ... etc.
Now i am in a total mess . I just dont know what to do with the set that is few days old .
Pls help urgently .
Waiting for any valued suggestion .
Bye ...

20" Monitor with (Built-in iSight?)

As soon as Apple updates the 20" monitor with built-in iSight I will be buying one and connecting my Macbook, then retiring my iMac iSight to my wife. Hurry up Apple with the upgrade.
Now for the technical question:
If Apple indeed adds iSight to it's line of monitors and since all the new computers Apple is building these days already have iSight built-in will my dream configuration work.
I know the external iSight works when connected, however there are minor glitches when shutting down, sleeping....

dig a little deeper next time
D/FW, there nothing to dig for. You're asking for functionality and behaviour of a product that does not exist. You're better off speculating in a rumours forum.

USB Webcam on Macbook with built-in Isight?

Has anyone been able to use an external webcam via USB on a Macbook with built-in iSight?
This should be very straight-forward, but it's not working for me. Is it possible? Thanks.

I have an older logitech 3000 and have been able to get it to work with 3rd party software such as macam and btvpro, but can't use it for Yahoo Messenger or similar programs. It won't work with photobooth either.

How to have Snow Leopard, Mavericks with built-in recovery, and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) on my iMac (Intel)?

I would like to have Snow Leopard, Mavericks with built-in recovery, and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) on my iMac (Intel). Is this possible? If so, how? Currently, I have Snow Leopard and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) running on my iMac. I have enough disk space to split my Snow Leopard partition. I have read that if I split my Snow Leopard partition, clone my Snow Leopard partition to the new partition, and boot to the new partition, that I may have problems with the Maverick's upgrade because it may not be able to create the recovery parition, or that it may erase the Windows partition, or that it may mess up the Windows boot process.

Simplest is to install Mavs on an ext HD, using FW or TB. I don't do windoze, so can't advise about the Boot Camp and multiple volumes issue. Since there's no Boot Camp, I have four volumes running SL through Mavs.

Ipad 3 to my TV with the Apple Digital AV Adapter. The Ipad is acting strange when I connect

When I connect my Ipad3 to my TV with the Apple Digital AV Adapter the touch screen starts to act strange. The mirroring on the TV looks great, but its impossible to navigate on the Ipad. It keeps opening apps I have not selected and not responding when I try to open and close f.ex. pictures and videos.
When I disconnect everything is back to normal.
Any suggestions?

I tried macam drivers, but that just gave me an application that allowed me to record video or snap pics from my Quickcam, Yahoo Messenger still does not recognize it as a source.
