Hi,

1. in the morning i can't turn on my 42PFL6877 over the On/Off button on the remote. Only after pull out and plug in the power plug again it works.

2. The android app doesn't work very well. Only the buttons "On/Off", "Liste","Optionen", "SmartTV" und "Teletext" are working.
android version 4.0.3 with an Acer A510 and
android version 2.3.7 with a Motorola Milestone.
app version is 2.2

3.The software is really really slow...it's very uncomfortable to use.

Regards,
Sepultura

Dear all,

A new SW version with some major improvements is about to be released. If all tests are positively finalised, we will notify you here in this forum and of course on our support web site.

JuAn

Important: As always, once the software upgrade is completed, you need to disconnect the power cable from the power outlet. Wait 1 or 2 minutes then reconnect it. After that you can start your TV in the usual way.

Hi!

Most of the things have been mentioned... My feedback is on 55PFL8007:

Maybe to add:

- If HDMI cable is connected (and no device is attached) and you turn on the TV, the TV turns on, shows a channel a couple of seconds - turns off. If you turn on again you are not anymore in Satelite mode - you are in (cable-)TV mode - and not in your favorites anymore

- In SmartTV I am missing Maxdome and all the other Video Apps

- Adding apps to SmartTV will hang up the system (if you browse through SmartTV Apps and you are on page 3 or 4)

- Ambilight Lounge Mode is not working correct - TV turns on Ambilight - but you can not change Lounge Mode (Colours)

- Sometimes DLNA crashes if you browse (still checking when this happens)

- SmartTV crashes sometimes - the TV restarts then completly.

- If you record something the recording logo on the top right is not completly displayed on the screen.

- It's mentioned before: But things are slow... comment: less is more! I don't need animation or channel logos - just browsing through the menu is enough :-)

- In DLNA: The digital sound output volume is reduced. If you have an amplifier connected using the optical out the sound is very quiet on DLNA content compared to Satelite TV.

Thanks,
Bastian

Hi there,

I am from Germany and writing in this English-section because I hope/think, that I will get better support.

Yesterday I got my 40PFL7007 with FW 0.108.8.0.
Setup was running perfect.

I don´t use internal tuners, but external devices:
- HD-SAT-Receiver Dreambox DM800 SE on HDMI 1
- DVD-Player 3880 Philips on HDMI 2

My problem:
It is almost impossible to turn on the TV !
I push ON/OFF button on remote control and I notice, that the red remote-LED receives the signal (light flashing).
Most of the times TV stays off. After lots of trials it starts, sometime successfull, sometimes it starts (red LED not visible) and gets off again (red LED appears again).
It seems then, that no connection (Dreambox) could be detected, but Dreambox was switched on before.

It takes me everytime 5-10min to turn the TV on.
Unplugging power cable for 5min doesn´t solve the problem.
I tried 3 different brand-new HDMI cables with 1.4 and/or Ethernet standard. No change.

I also noticed interlace and changing colors at startup (sometimes blue background instead of black).

After the TV has started up correctly everything works fine.

I will wait 10 days before I return my TV to amazon. This is a very general function.
A TV, that can´t be turned on is useless.
Same problem was described in German forum by another user.

Thanks Philips in advance.
