No TV Tuner in dv4-1241tx

I feel cheated & fooled to find the integrated TV tuner missing from the Laptop.. Enquired many times with HP but no response.. Worst is nothing found in search for the compatible tuner on the HP site & even no response on from where to buy..
Worst ever service by any company to me.. I have 2 HP laptops now & vow not to buy any of HP/Compaq products..
Further pl. advice do this model dv4 1241tx support Express card or not...
Regards
Sanjay

Este portátil no incluye un sintonizador de TV integrado. Usted necesita comprar una por separado.

  • Pavilion dv4-1241tx wwan device not detected in win 7.Is there any wwan device at all?

    My pavilion dv4-1241tx can not detect wwan device when installing hp connection manager in windows 7.. pls help

    Some of the DV4-1000 series does support WWAN and some of them dont. Install drivers from here and check if WWAN module gets detected in Device Manager under Modems
    Also, Refer below link for more info

  • Dv4 1241TX issue getting too much heated, processes are very slow

    I've got Pavilion dv4 1241tx notebook. 11 months old. only genuine s/w including OS installed.
    It gets heated up very fast, you can actually fry an egg on that i guess.
    the processing gets very slow that simple game like counter strike (needs 256 ram, mine is 3 gb ram) doesn't run smoothly.
    HP has to to something for this problem. today i went to the athd. service center and the guy told me to hand-over the laptop for checking. i wrote a mail to HP care, but i guess HP is minting toooo much of money, so why bother.
    As compared to other laptop (dell, lenovo) HP comes at a price almost similar to them but the overall performance is pathetic.i have been an computer pro right from my school days and now regret of not buying the MAC.
    HP guys please reply if you have any solution to my problems. otherwise i guess this is how HP works.

    Thanks for your response.
    How would I check these details. Excuse my ignorance, but I am not too sure where I need to look.
    Would I find those detail in Network Settings?

  • Load Cycle Count over 7500 in just 5 days on new DV4 series notebook

    Hi,
      I'm really concerned about my new laptop i bought just a week ago (dv4-4172); it happens that the disk is making a lot of noise just like the infamous 'clicking sound of death' and reporting up to now, more than 7500 load cycles in just 5 days of operation and also, 2 errors in the CRC of the UDMA. Since my hard disk (Hitachi HTS547564A9E384 640.1 GB) was behaving like that i ran several test on the disk (HP's BIOS run-tests, HDD Tune, smartctl (short and the long one), etc.) but i'm not getting a single read-write error, that is, the system hasn't any functional/operational problem, yet. Furthermore, my disk's lifespan is 600000 load cycles and i'm getting about 1500 in just a day, you don't even need a calculator to realize the harddisk won't last more than 1.5 years. The constant clicking of the disk is also getting on my nerves too .
      The question here is, is it normal for this hard disk to have an average count of 1500 load/unload in a day (i.e. 1 cycle every minute) or is my disk the only one with suicidal attitudes?. My last notebook's harddisk (Seagate) didn't get more than 100k cycles in 2 years of operation, that's why i'm concerned...
      Naturally, hdparm solves the issue, but (partially or permanently) disabling my harddisk's APM is even more suicidal than my disk's actual attitude, and by the way, you need some technical skillset to change those values (I'm a linux sysadmin, so i knew how to solve that specific issue), why is the default configuration set as this? or is HP expecting every single user to know how to modify the APM or, if you don't, to have a seat while watching your hard disk self destruction take place.
    Thanks in advance.
    - melvin
    FYI, the problem is agnostic of which operating system i use, even in the POST stage the harddisk starts with that annoying clicking (and its corresponding cycle count increased), and yeah, i've updated all my drivers and followed every suggestion hp support assistant gave to me, like the nice guy i am.
    This question was solved.

    Hello uncle_sam,
    You’re having a problem with the hard drive.
    The drive is not supposed to be making any noise.
    Since the unit is still new I’d call HP and have them send you a new HDD.
    Here is a link to the phone number.
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

  • Does hybrid Tv tuner work in India.?

    HI guys, i use HP Pavillion DV4-1257tx notebook with an inbuild hybrid TV tuner.
    I live in kerala,India.
    I receive analog signals such as cable tv channels.but i am not able to receive HDTV ,radio or on-air signals with TV tuner antenna. why is that?
    do i need to use any extension,converter or software?

    Not at this time. The service is currently only availble in the U.S. Apple is probably in the process of negotiating licensing deals for other regions of the world.

  • Will the HDTV Hybrid Tuner work in India?

    Hi,
    I recently bought a DV4 Pavilion with a built in HP Integrated HDTVHybrid Tuner. I purchased this product in the US for a family member in India. Was just wondering if the Tuner would work in India.
    Any suggestions to get some additional hardware/software to make it work?
    Thanks

    If by "3G" you mean GSM, yes, assuming of course that you use a carrier that offers a data plan for the iPad.

  • Lost TV tuner after upgrade

    I've just upgraded my Pavilion dv7-3109tx from Win 7 Home (32) to Win 7 Ultimate (64). In the process, I have lost the drivers for my integrated TV tuner (doesn't appear in device manager) although I suspect it may be linked to the missing Multimedia Controller drivers that i can't seem to find anywhere either. Windows doesn't automatically upgrade them when I do a search, so I'm wondering what my next step might be. Anybody else got a clue?

    In my dv4 a search for multimedia controller comes up empty, so I don't know what they are. In device manager my tuner is under "sound video and game controllers". If I open the tuner it's possible to check status, drivers etc. I'm not too good at this but I can't understand how device manager can not see a piece of hardware. I am using windows 7, but it was an upgrade from Vista, not a new install.

  • Regarding TV Tuner

    Dear Sir
                      I have HP Pavelion dv4 1318tu laptop and i want to know integrated tv tuner is present in this model or not???
    please reply
                                     thanks

    Here is another Thread about the same problem. This has been an ON-Going problem. Here is the other thread:
     Home > Notebook > TV/Media Center > Pavilion dv7t - no TV tuner signal
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-TV-Tuners-and-Media/Pavilion-dv7t-no-TV-tuner-signal/td-p/1883...
    If you have a problem with your Integral TV Tuner, Have HP support connect you with the Escalation Team and they offer vouchers and the USB HP TV Tuner.
    The problem is the design of the Port and connector. Why I had to waste my time sending my unit twice back and get no permanent solution is just outrageously incompetent when they knew they had a problem

    PLEASE HELP ME OUT

    Hello,
    Please see this guide for MediaSmart TV SW. You must live in an area that has a HD digital tower nearby to pick up the digital signal.
    It is possible that you are also in a building or location where there is a lot interference.
    You can use this URL to detect signals and towers.
    Here is the general guide for setting up the MediaSmart SW

    Okay, so my HP dv4-1117nr Entertainment Notebook didn't come configured for a TV tuner. The connection on the side is covered by a small piece of plastic. Can I still buy a TV tuner and use it?
