It seems that the upgrade files are dated on 17-02-2012. Wonder why it took 2 weeks to upload them. I'm afraid it's another "just removed a function" upgrade...

I found the file when i googled the firmware number: http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/d...1_198.173.3.37

It seems though that this file is for PFL7956, but are the fimrware identical? Will it work for my PFL9956?

Don't think so but you can download it directly from your tv's download page:

I see one improvement: the text on the "Multi-view" page is fixed now (displays correctly).

Just hoping it is a 2 weeks internal validation instead... meaning we would not beta testers any more.

Those files did not work. Maybe I need a norway specific firmware? I only found english and a bunch of other firmwares..

Wonder why there was no norwegian version on that site..

No, you don't. All language files are the same. Just download the English one and it will work.

darn, I only get "there are no playable files on your USB drive" when inserting it...

In the zip file there are 3 files. Check the name of the txt file. It should state the version. If the file you downloaded is still the 14.95 file, than it won't work.

Hi,

as mentioned by Philips - Thomas in the old thread, I also suggest the following with this software:

Please perform a COLD REBOOT after updating the firmware (plug out the power cord for 2-3 minutes)!

Some questions to the users:

- is the duplicated entry in the option menu in the channel list fixed?
- does the CI-Modul menu work again?
