Have Ever tested.After factory reset, I have taken 30 minutes from the stream. When reconfiguring the device is simply turned off, great, a new error!My findings:Natural Motion bug is still present, although not activated after a restart on the menu.Still image flashes.Picture pumping continues.Pattern as in dark gray pictures ass antlers still exists.It is simply cruel, what you stand with this high end device needs long after this time!Sorry, am really depressed!(Google Translator)

At what step from the initial setup did you get the reset? Was it step 4 where you add devices?

[Cinema 21:9]

No, it happened in the Image menu, I chose the setting Perfect Natural Motion.
The unit just went off and stayed off!

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.

the text file is names 14.96.. this is really weird. i have done these updates earlier with no issues..

Could we please have the release notes?

[nnay07]

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...

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

Hi,

it always takes some weeks between compilation of the release build and the release on the website.

Hi guys,

After installing the new version I can't start NetTV. I get an error saying "To complete NetTV sign-in plea switch your TV set off and on again". I restarted my TV a couple of times, I also cleared the App-cache but it doesn't help. Do you experience this too?

New firmware version, new bugs... Philips how can I become an official beta tester?

[Toengel]

Hi,

did you make a cold reboot?

Sure, different times, I unplugged the TV from the electricity net for a couple of minutes, that does not help.

So I'm back on fw 14.95 now and NetTV works fine again. Fw 14.96 is a no go if you use NetTV than you should not update!

Hi blue,

i can not confirm. Here in Germany my NET TV does work. It is still very slow like the IP-EPG but maybe thats related to my internet connection 6Mbit/sec.

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?

Toengel@Alex

Hi Alex,

i´ve never experienced the duplicated entry in the channellist menu and i´ve never experienced that the CI+ Menu isn´t available with FW 14.95. It only did occure when the CI+ Modul crashed that the it was unavailable in the Menu until the CI+ Modul restarted

So I reinstalled the 14.96 fw but NetTV is really not working after installing the new firmware on my Philips Cinema Gold (50PFL7956H/12).

@DerShortyy: do you have a different type tv?

Hi Blue,
yes i do, i have 46pfl9706.
so far i can say, no audio drop outs on HD channels with dolby digital and no picture artefacts with 14.96. I hope it will last because i don´t know if my cable network provider changed anything because of my complaints or there was really something fixed with CI+ Moduls on HD channels...

[V4Mp]

Ok, I have a 50pfl7956k/02.
Does the multiplayer splittscreen still show shadows in the background of player one from the screen of player two?! and on player two shadows of player one?! If you have a dark background in a game, you can see it very clear!

Does the menu for the CI+ module work now?

Is nettv faster? Or is it still slow ... very slow? (And for information only, I have a 14.000 DSL line, I can load movies in a few minutes, but loading a simple page in nettv take seconds... long seconds!?).

Did I spend 2000,- into garbage?
