9-button screen does not work

[henryvme]

The leftmost 9-button screen, with "Watch TV, "NetTV", "Sources, "Find" etc. does nothing. (But the "Sources" button on the bottom row does work!). My TV is a 32PFL7665H/12.

Can indeed confirm this; have a 46 PFL 9705.

Confirmed for my 46PFL9705K. Has worked in the previous App version though:-(

Also confirmed here. Is under investigation. Tnx for your feedback.

@Philips: as nice as it sounds that reported problem is acknowleged (as if Philips was in doubt over "our" reports....) and I think to understand that Philips will issue a newer version of the app, it is the next itteration of Philips letting their products ripe at their clients. OK, a bug in a TV remote app is something different than a bug in a Space Shuttle programm, but think of all the frustration, the people you kept busy in trying to understand if the "bug" is in the app or caused by other means. I myself are far away from perfect, that is why before I debut something, talk to others first, trying to easy out raw edges in advance. I had a lively conversation by letter with your former Mr. Kleisterlee on this (after having my TV set exchanged 3 times), who could not deny that what is clearly missing at Philips, is a kind of "consumer panel" that does testing before products come to the market. Please also remember the "test" Philips did themself: all board-members became a TV and DVD player deliverd at home. NONE of them where able to get "it" working first shot; as an expample: loudspeakers and their feet needed to be fitted together with a screw. The screw was provided but the needed screwdriver not. That sounds logical, who does not have at least have the famous "IKEA tools box" at home. BUT: the needed screw driver was a very, very, very long one, costing EUR 20 in a specialty tools shop. And Quick Start guides do not help in such situations, nor do buggy app's.

We have submitted an update towards Apple (for approval) this morning containing several fixes incl. the fix for "the 9-icon grid not working".

The iPad-2 issue you reported is not yet in, as we've just found the cause of this. Will be fixed in a next release.
