3 new firmware versions in 1 month?

Mmmmh...I'll install it in one month after the positive feedbacks of the other Philips users.

I'd like to avoid new bugs introduced with the latest firmware releases.

Philips is very generous this Christmas.
Lots of firmware versions to play with.

no sign of it yet for my 9705H, philips say it should be rolled out in the next 24 hours and that was at 08.30am UK time

I think there are more problems to fix, therefore we need to wait for.

Right, I don't like to spend my Christmas angry for new bugs raised with the latest firmware release.

I noticed that too.
However I, being an optimist... was thinking that every one of my reported problems could be described in a general way as "visible artefacts", so... Did we get a Christmas present here!?... Or am I being overly optimistic?...

Do you prefer a brand with no firmware updates? There are a couple of them out there...
At least you have the possibility to go back to an earlier firmware in Philips TVs.
Consider for example the owners of a "sam"-Korean brand, whose update this week causes loss of synchronisation of audio & video, and they cannot go back to the previous firmware...

Cheer up, its Christmas...

(My understanding is that 140.44 was released with a small "glitch" in sound support somewhere, and once they realised it they offered a quick fix with 140.45 and a more complete fix with 140.46. I prefer quick fixes than no fixes...)

Regarding 140.46, I think that:

a) I am not getting sound loses when switching HDMI inputs any more,
b) No problem with PS3 gaming sound (which 140.44 introduced),
c) I am getting much fewer sound-drops when passing through DD from HDMI to SPDIF.
