Had a very strange issue today on my 40PFL8605 ; sound gone completely ! Not sure what caused it so cannot reproduce (yet). Sound was gone from : TV (DVB-C), NetTV, my mediaplayer that's connected via HDMI, my STB via SCART...
I got sound back by switching TV off completely via switch and switching on again.

I experienced this also one or two times.
I think this was the case after having turned off the sound via the mute knob on the remote, while using Windows Movie Maker (HDMI connector).
Very strange indeed...

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

[petasis]

The problem with "no channels found" is a software bug introduced in firmware 140.36. It is also present in firmware 140.37.

It does not go away if you reset to factory defaults, re-install all channels, or switch the TV off from the mains switch for a long period of time.

The only way to go away is Philips to release a firmware that does not have this bug (which got introduced in 140.36).

Why is so difficult for Philips to revise the changes they have done in 140.36 regarding channels, and isolate & fix the bug is beyond my comprehension.
(And my job is to develop software, I know a few things about it...)

[Chrissie18]

If they tell me what language they are programming I might be interestend into a new 'opportunity'.
They can contact 'Profit Consulting' (no... it stands for PROFessionals in IT ) in Apeldoorn...

Hi,

Just to inform you that HDMI random sound drop issue was definitively fixed after change of mother board of my TV 40PFL8605H 3D which was under guaranty !

With regards,

[tolgaakcan]

Not again. It just came from the repair center. Dear Philips any advice? This problem has existed for a while. Is it software related? This sound drop issue is really annoying. Any schedule for new firmware solving that problem...

On my side, sound drop issue was definitively fixed after hardware change of mother board of my TV 40PFL8605H which was delivered by repair center with FW 140.36

[petasis]

Were the two boards the same, or a new (updated) board has been designed?

Repair center just indicated on service note mother board of my TV 40PFL8605H was changed , nut there is no indication relative to version of new mother board...
