Hello,
as I discovered today, dailymotion is no longer available on NetTV for the older TVs. The icon is greyed out and the crossing was added to the icon.
When I try to start it, I get an english message: "App not accessible", with the text: "The App you are trying to access uses newer features not available on this product."
Seems, that the 2010 TVs like mine (42PFL7695K/02) are outdated and too old now. For my feeling, this is a little fast, since I bought this TV in January this year and now in April (3 months later) the first applications are no longer available.
Not sure, what happens, when more and more applications are no longer available. More in general, when can one say, this is a case for guarantee, when the advertised features are not available.
First application is removed 3 months after buying, videostore seems to be vaporware, maybe more applications follow when the new SmartTV introduces new features...
I think, we are here in a dependency from Philips. I'm also unsure how long the availability of the "real" internet is guaranteed. Since all internet traffic is routed through Philips proxies, you won't be aable to access the internet when Philips shuts down its servers.
