USB PTA01 and WIFI and 42PES0001D/H

[loekbles]

I want to connect my TV 42PES0001D to my network using the USB port of the connectivity HUB. In the menu i cannot find how to configure the USB PTA01 to connect to my wireless switch / router. Does this HUB support the Philips PTA01 ?

Hi,

I think the 42PES0001D/H does not support the PTA01. Please see manual, product spread sheet of both devices, if they are supported.

Indead this TV is not in de spec list of the PTA01 which is for me strange. A USB port should be usable for a network connection. Is there another way for wireless connection between the HUB and the home network ?

Hi,

if your TV is capable of network "stuff", you can use a LAN/WLAN bridge, if you have a LAN connector at the back of your TV.

Thank you for your advice that is the next step i am going to try which should work because of the network connection. That should work. It is a pity for the PTA01 !!

Nice to hear that there's a workaround for this. Let us know how it works out for you.

I just bought the Netgear WNCE2001 and connected this adapter to my TV Hub. Without any problem i connected to my home network and are now able to play all my stored music and videos on my TV. On my PC using Windows media centre. The netgear can be connected for powersupply to the USB connectot of the hub. Easy and working without ant problems (until now).

The netgear even cheaper than the PTA01 ! Issue solved for me.

maybe the wrong thread, but found no better.
on my TV ( 32PFL7476k) pta01 was working for more than 2 months. Then, all of a sudden, could no longer connect to my w-Lan (wlan) any more. After a lot of tests and discussions with network spcialists, it turn out, that pta01 does not ( fully ) support the german wiFi-Channels. In fact it seems, pta01 is limited up to chanel 10 ( or 11). Philips shoud inform their users. ... ( feature request ) and change the product to fully support all channels.

From my own experience with the PTA01 you should be thankful your TV isn't compatible. My receiver is CRAP! Sometimes I can be online 5 mins, sometimes 30 mins before i fall offline.. Sometimes I can't go online at all! Nothing wrong with my network or router, my laptop never falls offline. Also if you want to use your TV for anything requiring flash player: DON'T BOTHER! Philips smartTVs aren't compatible with flash. If you're then asking yourself the question "what's the point of internet on the TV?", I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for you. I'm asking myself the same question...
