[Important] Bugs, which need to be fixed in 2010 firmware (TV550R1)

[Goforit]

I want to know what Philips is doing with support and firmwareupdates since it have a joint venture with a chinese company who want build, design and sell Philips-tv from now on...

Hi,

Hi @ all,
What about feature 22 please ?
(add an option to make the volume of the headphones directly adjustable through the remote control (ie. by the volume button, not by a setting placed in some nested menu).)

I need that absolutely. It is a real disaster for me to scroll through 10 menus and submenus ...
Has this feature been added meanwhile please ?

Thanks, gelo

Other question, I have no dvb subs, except on M6 HD, but neither on ARD HD, nor on ZDF HD. How is that possible ? I have 40PFL9705K.

Thanks for advice

[Goforit]

Please test if the subs is working on the NON-HD channels, ARD or ZDF without HD.

[Toengel]

Hi,

ARD and ZDF do NOT broadcast DVB subtitles. They only broadcast teletext subtitles...

[Goforit]

Ah, i thought he was talking about teletext subs.

Hello again,
Do you experts have no solution for me please ?

Could it be that I have choosen as country (during installation) something like Norway ...
I dont really remember, can I check or change that ?

Thx, gelo

Hi,

regarding the volume... until no new firmware is released you need to do that by the nested menues... And I don't think that this will change in a future update...

Another bug: When watching Net TV after setting a reminder in the progamme guide the on screen reminder does not appear.

[Toengel]

Hi,

I guess to programmed the reminder with the DVB-EPG, right?

Can somebody else confirm that?

That's a great list - will this also be applied to 2011 FW? As there are a lot of similar issues, it probably doesn't make sense to duplicate that list for 2011 FW.
How can we get the 2011-FW-guys at Philips to look at your superb 2010-list? ;-)

And I have another (small) feature request:
- Allow to enable 3D for 1920x1080 JPGs (side-by-side and top-bottom)

Hi:

When will be available the next fw update ? the last one was on August.

Regards and Thanks

Probably will be rarer and rarer for the 2010 TVs. There is no much incentive to throw development effort for a two years old TVs.
So we'll have to live with the bugs and missing features until have money for something better...
I guess now only most severe bugs will be fixed (hopefully the annoying sound drops are between them). Do not hold your breath for new features...
