i have just bought an
acer 7720g with intergrated tv tuner
what i need to know is will this pick up an anologue signal as i live in guernsey channel islands and we cannot receive digital .i have the ariel that came with the machine but when i search for channels it says no signal has been detected
do i have to change any settings to receive analogue
any help would be so well received

would also like to say that i bought the laptop from ccl and their service was second to none avoid laptops direct like the plague!!!!

Hello grip666,
Firstly - welcome to CompuForums. We provide our computer help for free, so we would highly appreciate it if you could help us. You can do this by answering other people's questions, or if you are not so technically-minded, post in our general lounge forum. Alternatively you can purchase a premium membership to help contribute to the rising running costs of this site. If you can't help us then we can't help you. This system allows us to continue to provide free computer support.

As far as I know the tuner on your laptop is digital only, so you will have to wait for Freeview to finally come to the CI before you can get anything, I'm afraid.

Good luck with owning an Acer - my Acer laptop lasted a whole 8 months before I sent it back to the retailer under the Sales of Goods Act, and the warranty centre usually made the faults worse when I sent it in.

hey now ash, my uncle gave me his old acer a while back (like 6 months ago) and it still had windows 95 on it. it worked at the time, but it was so out of date i just took it apart and then recycled the parts lol. but still it worked!

Acer did used to make good equipment, hence why I got one, but over the past few years since they outsourced the factories they owned, they've really gone down-hill
