New A7Jc - several questions/issues

Hi guys,

I'm new to Asus and new to notebooks in general.
I've got a few questions and I hope you guys can help me.

- when the battery is fully charged, the Windows Media Center estimated time is about 1 hour and 45 minutes (although i've seen specs on the Asus site saying 3 hours battery life!). I could live with 2 hours (or a little less even), but it appears that --when watching a dvd or divx movie- the battery
only lasts for 45 minutes! Not nearly enough for one short movie!
Is this normal? Ok, the A7Jc has got a 17" tft, but 45 minutes is very
low, isn't it?


- unfortunately, my cat has already made my LCD screen a little dirty.
Does anyone know what's the best way to clean the tft screen of the A7J
notebook? It's a bright anti-reflection glare-type kind of lcd (bright
colour lcd i think they call it).


- I read that the A7J on board audio, supports 3d sound. What if I
would want to have EAX support in games? Would I need to connect an
external audio device supporting EAX or is there a way to connect my
5.1 speakerset to the A7Jc directly?


- Does anyone know if there's a 'docking station' or 'port replicator' available for the A7 series (A7Jc to be precise) ?

- Finally, the DVB-T isn't working. When I open the Asus Media Center software and set it to DVB-T and start scanning for stations, not one channel is found? I put the antenna outside of the window, just to make sure, but this didn't help. When I connect the cable to the regular TV-coax-cable, the channels are found immediatly. Any ideas?


Many thanks in advance!!
