SONY VAIO VGC-LA1

[nemo66]

I jut got one new baby: VGC-LA1 !!!
Greatly designed machine, real contender of iMac.
Runs good till now...but one problem:
-when i try to watch tv over MediaCenter, it shows me live tv only a couple of seconds, then it terminate the live streaming and tells me that WindowsMedia needs to terminate the TV because of to low data .
Too low data over cable ???
What the hell means that???

Next room i use an MacBook with an EyeTv without problems...on the same cable connection!!!

Any ideeas?

Well...at least my machine has the iR Receiver built in.
It´s located on the left lower side of the speaker.
An IR Remote controller was in the box.

But as i wrote before.....can´t watch tv because of the damn error from MediaCenter!!!

SONY....do something !!!!!!!!!!!

To use the s video input to watch TV you need a seperate usb IR Blaster, PC World have a part number of: PCVA-IR8U.
However Sony say this part number does not exist!! Have ordered a usb blaster off the net from Aquila and will let you know if it works!

YESSSSSSS!!

Now watching sky via the s video input and the picture is fantastic!!

Still no solution for my problem.
Still no new drivers that may solve that problem.
Still....thinking to sell this LA1 😞

How much for your usb blaster off the net. Should the IR remote controller be standard with the LA1 as I am picking a PC up from PC World in next few days. Will check the contents before I leave the premises.
