Hi,

Excellent!

Who is excellent ?

I installed the new 140.36 firmware.

This firmware caused some instability to the TV at first, but after 10-15 reboots, the Tv has stabilised.
(The main problems were that no channels were available when I opened the TV, and I had to re-select TV from the home menu, to get the channels back. The other was that the NetTV did not work at all - fixed on the sixth reboot I think).

Regarding sound drops, I still got some, but I think there is an improvement with respect to 140.34.

Menu spelling errors for Greece: not fixed.
DVB-T EPG for Greece: not fixed.
Sound drops: not fixed.

Model: 46PFL9705

Just be patient, in my case it was corrected after 10-20 reboots. Try to switch all the inputs, and hopefully the tv will stabilise. I think mine did...

Hi,

the channels where back, after switching to TV in home menu (as you stated). I did the following:

- Update TV
- wait until TV was up again completely (here the channels were gone)
- go to standby and restart
- go to standby and hard switch off
- restart (and again all easylink settings where gone and I am not able to connect my BDP9600 via Easylink - I need to force the HDMI-1 input...)

I waited some minutes and Net-TV and IP-EPG also worked again (it takes a COUPLE of minutes until the LAN connection worked again).

1. the channels where back immediately after standby. No switching to TV in home menu was required, No hardreset as well
2. Easyling was there no isuues here as well.
3. Net tv was launched as soon as I pressed the net tv button, No issues here as well
4. Not a single issue on sound drop ever.
5. A faster boot up to the tv channels was recorded.

Same here. 40PFL8605H/12.

Installed the update couple of days ago and still see the Dutch message "Geen programma beschikbaar" at the bottom of the screen every time I switch the TV on.

Had a internet chat with Philips about this issue and they asked me if I had tried a reset to factory defaults. I didn't so gave that a try, but.... didn't help. Issue still there

The other was that the NetTV did not work at all

Same here. Fixed it by disconnecting ethernet cable and reconnecting.

Thanks Alicia, I never thought of that. I am doing unplugging and plugging ethernet jack to make the connection process faster as you suggested.
It is better than doing thru nettv menu which takes more time to wait..
I hope Philips fix this soon. very frustrating..
