Hi,

i found it yesterday in Net TV - thank you! Now is needs to be connected somehow to the red-button ;-)

Nevertheless - it would be nicer, if the application could be set to full screen on the 21:9... it is only a 16:9 window on my 58PFL9955...

Thank you for making this finally possible!

however, where is the Hbbtv ("red button") support? will it be available also for 2009 Nettv models?

What about are the ARD Media Archive?

[Philips]

Philips Net TV is fully “RED BUTTON” compatible.
It is up to the broadcasters to make use of it.

We are waiting for approval from ARD to put ARD Mediathek live as well.

[Daniel03]

That's good news!
As to the Hbbtv support, i have noticed a change: when pressing the red button, after a while an error message is displayed in german ( my country setting in nettv is Germany ) rathern english as it was before. This happens even with both ARD as well as ZDF. I had contacted them and they have confirmed that the required Hbbtv signalling is included in the data stream sent to the my cable network operator. My Cable Network Operator, however, claims that they do only forwarding the data stream they are bein delivered.
Big Question: where is the drain of the Hbbtv data and who is wrong?

Philips Net TV is fully “RED BUTTON” compatible.
It is up to the broadcasters to make use of it.

Currently I don't think so.
On various channels I get "Keine rote Taste verfügbar" (no red button available), and with this channels the broadcasters don't transmit HbbTV data and so couldn't work the red button. In this case I agree. But on some channels from Kabelkiosk I get a menu from NetTV to choose a channel but ther is only one channel (flevoland) to choose from that hasn't to do anything with the broadcast channel. But if HbbTV-red button would work, red button should start the HbbTV application directly. And Kabelkiosk did anounce launching of HbbTV Service on IFA 2010 so I should at least get a Demo page.

I have the same problem with the ZDF library.
After 20-30min playing time there are problems with the sound (out of sync, stutters or completely gone). Image remains ok. I some cases also the image stutters.
It can not be due to the speed of my DSL, because after a Restart everything is back to normal now.
Since in the case of the ZDF media library can not fast forward the problem is completely annoying, because you have to keep starting over.
It is not even on ZDF =>everything runs perfectly on my PC.

Do Philips knows this problem?

40PFL8605K - 000.140.027.000 = newest Firmware

Hi,

now the German ZDF recognized the problem. Here their response to this issue:

Hallo zusammen,

kurzer Zwischenstand aus Mainz: Das Problem ist uns mittlerweile bekannt und wir befinden uns, in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Philips, auf Lösungssuche.
Erste interne Tests haben ergeben, das es auf anderen HbbTV fähigen Plattformen bisher nicht zu Aussetzern kommt.
Da wir das Problem auch auf den uns zur Verfügung stehenden Philips TV Geräten nicht nachvollziehen können, liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass es sich eventuell auf eine bestimmte Produktlinie beschränkt.
Ich würde euch/Sie bitte daher bei weiteren Fehlerberichten immer die Modellnummer und Titel des gesehenen Beitrags beizufügen. Das erleichtert uns die Fehlersuche.

Übrigens liefern wir für HbbTV Videos mit einer Bandbreite von 1.5/MBit aus - daher könnte es, sollte mit einer DSL2000 Leitung zugegriffen werden, eng werden sobald weitere Internetaktivität parallel stattfindet.
Die offizielle Empfehlung lautet daher mindestens mit DSL6000 zu "arbeiten".

Sobald wir mehr Wissen, werden wir natürlich hier im Forum berichten.

Viele Grüße vom Lerchenberg

OK her my Datas:

Model: Philips 40PFL8605-K
Firmware: Version: 000.140.027.000, Date: 2011-01-05 (newest at the Moment)
Connection DSL6000
Problem occurs at 22:20 an Tuesday 11-01-2011 during "ZDF WISO Sendung from 10-01-2011" after 15 Minutes runningtime, the audio ist stuttering the audio stoped, Picture was ok

After abort i have measerured my DLS Speed with a Speedtool on my PC , the Speed was 5500kbps => OK

Another Question: Why is it not possible to "FastForward" a Video. Then the Problem is not so the problem is annoying.
At this moment it makes no sense to look any Film or longer Video, because of this Problems.

My data:
Philips 32PFL7605H
Firmware Q5551-0.140.25.0 (no newer update available AFAIK)
Connected via KabelBW (10mbit)
I tried to watch http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/beitr...;sv5&flash=off and stuttering started at around minute 20. I retried this a few times (using the virtual remote control tip to fast forward) and even waited 20 minutes but without result.

Hello,

I did not see the update via network and now did an update by downloading the firmware to my computer and applied it from USB. However, the proplem is still there.
