Hi Thomas,

I've done what you have suggested, but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem.

Basically, the problem is:
1) Start the IP-EPG
2) Press "Ok" on the remote control = the informations of the currently running tv program is shown
3) Press "back" button on the remote control = does not change anything (the red led on the tv blinks, but nothing happens)

If I use the firmware version 140.39, the above procedure works.

Please see my post:

Same goed for me. Samsung is planning tv's with 5 years guaranteed upgrade....

With Philips you only have what you have, Customer service is zero and updates/upgrades too.
And that for an expensive tv.

In fact, you're talking about Samsung, not Philips.

The best way to lose future customers is to deny at least 2-3 years of guaranteed upgrade for your previous TV models.

Philips is driving the innovation on this topic. It's shown it in dozen situations at least.

The TV is purchased once every 5-10 years and the bitter taste of the "lack of upgrade" will remain for future purchases. 100% sure!

Maybe Philips thinks that the TV is purchased once per year all over the world.
They're so cheap that I could buy them twice per year!

Perhaps we are not so keen to understand the subtle marketing strategy of Philips management.

Samsung is "naive", it has still not understood it, that's why they're still giving 5 years guaranteed upgrade possibility. The should learn from Philips.

Philips is driving the "innovation" to increase their market share worldwide!

:mad:

Hi I'm trying to upgrade from 0.46 to 0.47, I downloaded the file on to a USB key, but when I insert it into the TV (switched on) it just reads the USB and can find no playable files, (it doesn't attempt to upgrade). Looking at the autorun.upg file, it's the exact same size as the 0.46 version, also the text file in the zip is: OpenSource_Q55XX_0.140.46.0.txt
My model number is 32PFL8605H/12. I have upgrade the FW before without any problems.

I downloaded the update from the product support page at: http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/d...=1&mode=inpage

try downloading from uk site

Hi,

just add a paramter to the download link... E.g. "...zip?a=b" then you wont have any proxy/caching problems and you will get the latest version.

Can you post a link? When I log in to the philips.co.uk it just redirects to the .com site when I try to download the firmware.

Also, I've noticed I can download an "American English" version: 32pfl8605h_12_fus_aen.zip which seems to have the correct: OpenSource_Q55XX_0.140.47.0.txt file and the autorun.upg file is a different size than for the 0.46 update. Does anyone know if it's a problem to use an American firmware for a TV to be used in the UK/Ireland?
Thx.

After all this jibberish from you guys, I still don't know or understand the benfits of upgrading to this latest .47 version. Why can't you take your out-of-topic debates somewhere else, let's keep in mind this is about the worth and difference coming from this version .47!

basically I want to know by your experience and from Philips if I should stay on recent .46 or update to this .47

As I see it so far, there's no reason to update... or have I missed something since you only talk about off-topic nonsense?

I was thinking exactly the same.

Moreover, with the additional risk to discover a new bug on a old feature that was working ok.
