Hi,

I have a 40PFL8505K.

I noticed the same problem with my 32PFL7605C12.
When I insert a USB stick with 140.47 it starts installing
When I insert the same USB stick with 140.36 (downloaded from samipupu) it does nothing.

i have downgraded to 0.40 and this is was the update where the pictuer was very poor but now it looks ok so im wondering if this version of update was changed by philips before it was put up for download on samipupu.com can any one confirm my findings

Hi

My TV was sold with firmware 140.37 and I can't install firmware before 140.37 because it was the factory firmware.

[Toengel]

Hi,

I think you can downgrade...

my tv came with 0.34 and i cant go blow that firmwear if any one nos how to plz let me no

[christophexxx]

Hi,

I tried lot of time
1- with the cold restart method,
2- with the folder upgrades method
3- with many firmware on usb : only firmwares after 140.37 "were seen" by the TV

I remember on the service manual, at the service menu pages, you have something like "first software 140.xx, actual software 140.xx". so it seems there is a limitation.

See message # 43 over here : http://www.supportforum.philips.com/...1054#post41054

Didn't solve the reboot problem caused by, related to or accompanied by the "channel update" message.

[christophexxx]

Hi,

1- Sticker effect in dark scenes
2- no détails at all in dark scenes
3- Not the same level of resolution/mpeg artefact reduction/super resolution on TV compare with HDMI (with the same channel of course)

Regards

Same for me. My next TV will definitaly not be a Philips. Never seen a customer unfriendly brand.
