Electronic Program Guide (EPG) accessibility overview.

[niv_bp]

Hi,
I have an 40PFL6606H/12 and I live in Israel.
I can see TV channels via the DVB-T but I can't see the program guide when i select it via the broadcast. why?

[Erikrijnders]

Hi Erik,
We tested the IP-EPG and found out that the automatic channel mapping gave a poor performance at TV’s with the Ziggo channel list.
Reason: Ziggo has strange channel names, like “NED1HD”. Those channels are not recognized.
So we are updating our program list with the Ziggo channel names to have this improved.
All changes are performed with severe testing and lots of safety instructions.
That is what is causing the delay.

How much delay from now on?? We are almost three weeks further now?!

Hi Eric,

@Philips

Maybe you can edit the first post by mentioning the new thread with DVB-C in NL...

Spanish IP-EPG has a bug of +1 hour in all the programs.

I'm trying to understand how IP-EPG works and it's dependencies. Q3-Q4 last year the IP-EPG from tvtv worked fine. Since then i can only see the broadcasted program guide.
Using the tvtv IP-EPG I thought it just identified the channels automatically or manually and linked to the tvtv database to get program info. Is this correct or is there also a dependency to the broadcasted tv info?
I have had a discussion with the local support but it is impossible to get a clear description.
Is there a difference how the gracenote IP-EPG works?

Anyone from Sweden, active in this forum, who can share some experiences from current use of IP-EPG?
Thanks

Even if EPG works pretty well in my country,
I did find some missing and wrong network channel info on my 32PFL7607M 2011 tv series (14.96.0_bld27a software).
So I have compared the DVB EPG with the IP EPG info for the first,
most used, 32 channels and here are the results:
.................OK....wrong.....missing
.
DVB..........24.......1.............7
.
IP.............17.......5.............10
.
The problem is not about 7 or 10 missing info,
but for the 5 network wrong info which could be used to make wrong recordings.
.
Does someone know how to set the channels with wrong info in the IP EPG to 'Identify channel' status ?
In this way I could avoid wrong recordings.
.
Here are the statistics in csv format (open with excel):

Is there any update on the accisibiity for 2012 models?

I'm on an analoge cable connection in the Netherlands, and my PFL6007 is not picking up the EPG. Is that according to the specs as from 2012 models?

Dear Philips,

I have a 32PFL7605H and I live in Hungary. I am wondering if the IP EPG system will be available in my country and if so when.

Thanks for your help,

Greg

[DellUser]

Re-install you TV. As country setting choose Germany. Language settings can remain Hungarian.
After this you can install & access IP-EPG.

[horvatgergely]

Thanks! I figured out this solution by myself as well however the only problem is that only 4-5 Hungarian channels are supported by the IP-EPG. Thus the original problem is still here: Hungary and Hungarian TV channels are still not available as IP-EPG...

Dear Philips,

Please advise when will be the IP-EPG availbale in Hungary?

Thanks,

G

EPG in Milano, Italy in september is unusable most of the time with message: connection in progress.
The smart TV functions are also unusable with the same message.
I have a 20 Mega Telecom connection and ethernet connection to my 32pfl7606M.
Forget help from philips and just enjoy the basic TV functions and great video images.
Ciao,
marco

Clearly this IP EPG will not be ever working in 2011 models. Info for channels is missing and clearly stand of Philips is that it's not their problem, and provider of actual service, well, simply couldn't care less if it works or not.

Fully agree with your last sentence
