Once it said as (error)...

A forum inquiry put my attention on this (still open) issue.

Are there any plans to fix it (so I can tell my friends what a good support Philips gives)?

kwinnie, probably is this workaround the reason for the 1:10 lucky hits when I was testing NetTV access.

Do you use a fixed IP address?

Philips acknowledged its a bug.

Not seen the 'comming soon' announcement yet.

Hi Philips - Remko,

it takes just 5 minutes to test, in order to see if the issue happens at your situation.
Solving it may take some more time, but can you at least do a test.

Thx.

Need help with testing? I can reproduce the issue of not memorizing fixed IP address everytime I try.
It works after setting the bdp5180 to fixed ip, but after switching off (I mean off, not stand...

Something with grounding?

You are asking for user experiences and your concern is not having a v1.57 upgrade for this BDP player?
My experience is that DVD and Blu-ray play flawless with v1.54.

Hm, no one yet is using the coaxial SP/DIF for connection to their surround sound amplifier?

I responded today in this thread: http://www.supportforum.philips.com/en/showthread.php?1190-upgrade-1.54-bdp5180-12&p=15684#post15684. It gives you a clue how to reproduce my issue.

Remko,

It didn't last. So no NetTV for me.
Every now and then I tried, without success.

But enjoying the dlna feature made me use the bdp5180 very often.

I didn't buy an AC Ryan or like, because of the streaming capabilities of the BDP (5180/12). :)

I don't know how good or bad that code is. I only notice NetTV isn't working, saying that my router connection is not ok.
For all my pc's it is ok, so it should be for any Philips apparatus.

let there be ... an update :)

I guess there will be a fix for every Philips product offering NETtv.
