Hybrid tuner and Windows Media Center

[Japps]

I have a Vaio AR11S and I understand it has a hybrid tuner, capable of receiving both analogue and digital signals. Does this mean I can watch/record 2 different channels simultaneously?? and if so, how do I get it to work with media center?? At the moment I can only watch/record one channel at a time . any help much appreciated!

Hi Japps,

Welcome to Club Vaio.

No unfortunately you can only watch and record one channel at a time..

Is it possible to play games on the AR series? For example, on AR21M?
Does it require other external connectors?
Because:
1. Seen the Ad flash ("Showcase - take a closer look") for the FE series which shows you can play gaming console on your FE series.
2. Heard you can play games on some laptops with high configuration + which has a S-Video out port (which the AR & FE series have)
Sorry, i know its not related to this post...but just wanted to know.

You can only watch and record one channel. Hybrid just means it can get digital and analogue channels

I have Media Center. How do you watch channels on it? Please could somebody explain.

Look in the Specifications for your model

It is always helpful if you say what model Vaio you have - you are much more likely to get a helpful answer.

It is only some of the AR-Series laptops that have built in tuners - no other models have integrated tuners although some do have tuners in the dedicated Docking Stations.

Vgn-N11M. So i dont probably have it.

No Waqz - your N-Series is too small !!!!

You will need ONE OF THESE to watch and record TV on your Vaio.
