OK, I just got one too. It worked a dream out of the box within 5 mins - but have you any idea how to make the Digital TV tuner work? Am I missing something. Does it have to be plugged into something else?

Like an antenna perhaps?

When I saw VA series here in the US I was a bit disappointed by its design. VAIO V series really strikes, VA series seem to have more industrial design rather than SonyStyle design.
If your VA does include digital TV tuner, you will be able to get HD content over the air with an appropriate HD antenna. Good luck with it!
The X-Brite 20" LCD really rocks!

THE VGC-VA1 doesn't have HDMI or any video out capability natively, its designed more as a self contained unit. I think the XL100 and the RC servers are more for those who want to output to an external display/TV.

You are right

SONY has just announced the new Bluray Vaio.
Nothing fancy, new design or different series, it's going to be the RC-Series with Bluray Drive.
And of cause a Bluray sticker on the Vaio :smileygrin:

Hi Rich77,
Oh, How I wsh I could say the same about my VGC-VA1. To say I feel let down is an understatement.:smileycry: Ps2 nigh on impossible to run through system. Of 9 games I have loaded, 4 have problems. One Expensive hunk of junk.
