Petition for better firmware

[smart]

...
- Channel grid is VERY annoying! Why can't Philips make a normal channel list where one can select a channel by moving up and down? Or at least to do this grid normally, I mean when I reach the end of a row and want to step right, the cursor wouldn't go to the next page, rather the next row. The way this is designed is completely illogical.
...

I have to disagree completely with your opinion. The channel grid is not illogical. I think it is very logical and practical. I like the channel grid and I'm faster in choosing from the channel grid than with a "normal" channel list.
When pressing right on the outer right column, I expect the next page to be loaded.
I would say it is illogical to go to the beginning of the bottom row.

The channel grid is one reason for me to buy a Philips TV. I prefer that kind of input.

The thing is there are still a number of issues open, which is probably a manpower issue at Philips.

Right, there are a number of issues open. I also know some, I want to have solved. If there is a clear issues, it should be solved.

But this thread is much to generic. It should be titled like "Petition for firmware solving remaining bugs". Then it would be adress, what you meant before. "Petition for better firmware" can be everything. There are users, who don't like the animations or the channel grid or similar. So those users would also vote and expect this to be changed. Those might think it is a better firmware, if you change that. But there are others who like that kind of user interaction and basically the TV is designed to behave like that.

Hope it got clear, what I mean...

Honestly is some one is writing here is only because he wants to say something about frimware
Reading may posts you can see that generally people want fixes, improvements to for me 'Petition for better firmware' is quite obvious (I know why I came to this forum and others seems to have similar problems)

...for me 'Petition for better firmware' is quite obvious...

I agree!

Each partecipation to the petition could includes a "reason" (a description of our "claim").

Good job!

I am very sad because OPTICAL OUTPUT from my 42PFL7606K outputs multichannel signal, not accepted by my stereo high-end system.

Other brands like LG, SAMSUNG etc. allow choose between PCM and muttichannel in optical output.

I believed PHILIPS had better implementation than others, but I have seen this is not ture.

My TV SHUTS DOWN RANDOMLY...

I am waiting for a firmware upgrade for chhosing between PCM and MULTICHANNEL... ot it will be my LAST PHILIPS TV

Hi,

you can choose between PCM and Multichannel in the TV Station setup - somewhere you can choose between Advanced (DD) and Standard (Stereo).

Hi,

To change the audio output in PCM or multichannel please use the options explained below:

TV HOME > Setup > Channel settings > Language > Preferred audio format

Option 1: Standard = PCM
Option 2: Advanced = multi channel

You can also choose the audio language respectively the audio format while watching TV:

Press OPTION > Audio Language > Choose audio format from the list

Note: The listed options depend from the broadcasted audio content.

Regards
Thomas

If only multichannel is avaible, it does NOT output PCM, as other brands DO

TV only bypass digital signal...
