Your experiences with FW v 150.48.13 for 6, 7, 8 and 9xx7 series (2012 models)

[Htep]

Hi Htep,

Tnx for the info. Still some questions:
- Did you, after the upgrade, perform a cold start (unplug mains cord for a few minutes)?
- Is the Orange STB up to date (SW)?
- Does this happen all the time, or only during switching (HD) channels (as I saw some reports on that).
- Did you notice this before? If not, which SW was at that time in the TV?

Grt, WD85

- Yes
- Yes
- Only on switching or when I mute the sound on my box
- No problem before the upgrade. No idea of the past SW installed... (I remember a date around August)

Hi,
I have problem with teletext after upgrade on version 0.150.48.13.
Coding of text is wrong - only chance is to change in Teletext->Options menu->Language to "Group II".
Problem is, that this setting is not pernament. After exit from TXT and return back I have same problem again...

To be honest I'm quite disapoointed having upgraded from 133.5 to 150.48.13.
I've read through 53 postings (may have missed some) yet didn't encounter any of the stuff mentioned.
Not denying the issue; just not noticed... yet.

Then again I noticed the following changes:

+ Programme info can now be read top to bottom without it jumping back to the top. (My main reason for updating)
- Programme logos have disappeared. The box is blank, not filled with a default logo. Some new logos are added though.
- In the TV guide the channels with the logo issue mentioned above show black boxes where the logos should be. Furthermore some logos are now shown "point mirrorred" i.e. they show upside down at top left of their bounding box.
- Subtitles on BBC1,2 and BBC1HD are overlayed. With 133.5 the digitally rendered text showed. Now with this version the teletext blocky text is overlayed, of course not quite on the same position, which obscures more of the picture. It is not directly possible to get rid of it. You need to activate teletext mode, then switch ot of again (message about subtitle page being set appears shortly). Then using the subtitle button switch of and on again to get the nice rounded characters back. Until you change the channel... then you're back to overlayed text.

Currently I'd like to be able to return to 133,5 and take the jumping info for granted. Anywhere that I can find it?

Just repeated the upgrade. The issues with the logos are solved.
Must have pulled the mains plug in time now :-)
The subtitle issue stays though...

When I switch to an HD channel, the TV makes a noise.
I've recorded a video in my silence living room. Watch it!

Is this a software bug or an hardware issue?

The same issue with new 42PFL6907H/12 with FW v. 133.5 (thanks to vendor replacement)!
Is where the problem????

Ok, I made better input files with X264 (Much better from Xvid).

There was some stuttering that are now gone. I don't care if this was the Philips' player or Xvid encoding. Out of topic.
But artifacts are same

Here are the 2 files newly coded with x264 codec (one of the best blueray codec).

moving lines V12 camera output file, 55MB from my Camera in case Philips interested.

Hello all,

Here is my video with the crackling issue. I don't think it's the HD channel but maybe cause of Dolby Digital channel... No issue when I move on a Stéréo channel.

Philips TVs has very very bad picture with HDNM. It is also so bad without it (off position).
Philips wake up!!!, I spent a lot of money (1537 USD !!!) for your 42pfl6007 TV in order to get the BEST picture TV I can get, and NOTHING!!!
I though Philips is great company with responsibility, products with high level, and I find it very very WRONG…
What happened to you Philips?? Which product are you manufacturing ??
If your product is not reaching to perfect performance, so why I spent a LOT of money for this TV?? I could buy another brand with less money and get much better picture quality!!
Philips, or should I say "TP Vision", are you trying to make money on the back of your customers? Producing so low quality product and selling it with high prices ??
Maybe this TV division is not Philips anymore, but just "TPV Technology" (with 70% of Philips stocks). This company has the rights to sell TVs under "Philips" name, and maybe it is their strategy, and we can't do anything about it.
"TPV Technology" is only mentioning in the user manual, the TV package and the TV itself has ONLY "Philips" on it, so you Philips has full responsibility on that issue!!! Don’t try to escape from this!!!
Prove we are wrong!! where is your responsibility??, I bought "Philips" product!!
WE WANT YOU RESPONSE!!!!
