[32PFL9606K] Internet connection required for time-shift and/or recording?

[Phren]

Hello,

(I hope I'm in the right forum, otherwise move me to the correct one)

I'm about to buy a 32PFL9606K TV set. But I read (http://www.test.de/shop/bild-ton/test-spezial-fernsehgeraete-ts0061000/) that I need an internet connection to use recording and/or time-shift. This this true?

Can please someone explain the reason why the internet connection is required? I can understand for IP-EPG (http://www.supportforum.philips.com/en/showthread.php?3631-USB-recording-with-no-EPG-available) but not for time shift.

Thank you for your help.

Phren

Hi,

for time shift you don't need internet connection as far as I know - and I also think that this is written in the manual...
