Your experiences with FW v0.14.97.0 for 5806, 6000 and 7000 series (2011 models)

100% agree with you (after a 32pfl6605h and a 10 days old 32pfl7606m).
Or, most unbelivable, why should I have a internet connection to view already registered programs ?
while I can use the timeshift recording even without internet ?

I'm also wondering about it.
Maybe it's new Big Brother? Philips (or Someone else) wants to know what and/or when we watch?
BTW it's very uncomfortable.

The "Hide Channel" option has disappeared. WHY? Now I have all the encoded channels in the otherwise annoying IP-EPG. This TV hardware is very slow. A mobile phone can do better job.

So how can I HIDE unwanted Channels?

Hi,

the HIDE/UNHIDE function was disabled due to a patent "situation". The best solution is to mark all wanted channels as favorite and sort the favorits.

It looks more a 'workaround' then a 'best solution' !

Until know I did spend more time trying to understand how to use my new 32pfl7606m then programming my laptop.
.
This morning I did find how to connect my tv with cable connection to my wifi home network:
- connect the tv with an ethernet cable to a window 7 computer
- enable ICS from the network and sharing center, properties of the wifi lan, sharing
- in the 'home networking connection' select your cable lan
and you are done (note that firewall must not 'block all connections').
Unfortunately MyRemote does not work, because the tv is on a different Ip network and you cannot configure the IP address of the tv (I belive).

In my Tv(42PDL7906H/12) from time to time, picture flash, it´s hard to put on video because it´s impossible to predict the flash (some time it´s ok for hours, suddenly flash several times in a minute), it´s present in all firmware until now, anyone have this? hardware issue?

I would send the tv back to Philips for repair, if you are in warranty time.

Hi Guys

#4 Spontaneous shutdown and restart (This bug was also present in previous FW).

Please check if this still happens with 14.97 and HbbTV disabled. (This is only for those who see this Kind of Issue)

Firmware or hardware issue?

Use Philips Channel editor software.

Use Philips Channel editor software.

I just installed the 14.93 Firmware which is not totally f***ed up, hide the channels and then installed the 14.97

1: I dont know if you can downgrade.
2: I dont know if you hide the channels and after installing 14.97, you will loose the old channels or not.
Any way best of luck. Do let me know if you need the software and dont find it in internet.

Actually the downgrade works fine and the edited channel list remains unchanged after the upgrade. But it would be nice to edit the list the easier way. I just can't find the software on the net. How can I get it?
Thanks for help!

Any improvements in USB playback for fast forward in 14.97?
