A positive first impression ... more feedbacks tomorrow.

Negative for me - Dynamic Backlight flicker is still present - Same settings and same scenes on 133.5 dont produce flicker

First thing I noticed is that menus are now slower on my pdl6907 then it used to be.

Negative for me - Dynamic Backlight flicker is still present - Same settings and same scenes on 133.5 dont produce flicker

Unfortunately I have to second that. More irritating than the HDNM-bug and makes the dynamic backlight completely unusable. Will post in the technical thread after a couple of days of additional testing.

The first findings:
- network player can change audio language now
- the i+ button now displays channel broadcast info after returning from HDMI
- faster boot section
- 2D image correct when selecting from 3D - before was SBS
- they worked on the picture settings but cannot say at this moment what is changed. I checked the HDNM and looks a bit better. My impression.
- new device discovery bug looks to be solved but further testing needed.

This is what I could find positive.
On the negative:
- Recording TVR HD plays back as a black screen
- Nasul TV station though active is not detected "channel not present" error message.

I will test more later in the morning. Now I have to go to sleep.

Positive

Negative

[crocowood]

Positive
- faster Channel change
- faster menu browser
- Dolby Digital sound bug on HDMI sources solved

Negative
- dynamic back light flickers
- not abble yet to recover network connection for TV Guide

Will test my previous Ambilight problem when PVR Will be enabled again.....

impossible to get TV Guide working properly whatever network connection (wire or wireless).
Any trick to fix that ?

Negative for me - Dynamic Backlight flicker is still present - Same settings and same scenes on 133.5 don't produce flicker

I did think the image looked good on the latest firmware - but could be my imagination - however I have to stick to 133.5 due to the backlight flicker -

Hi!

WHERE did you find that new software ??
I've checked philips.ro and philips.co.uk and philips.se, but they all only have the old .14 firmware = 000.150.048.014, 2012-11-16 .


And what does the T, K, and H stand for at the end of the series model number, like 47pfl6067T/12 or 47pfl6067K/12 ?

My guess is that T stands for Terrestrial, which one receives via antenna, but then the K should be a C, if that stands for Cable ... :-)

And my T model can receive via Antenna as well as Cable, so that can't be it.

Are the firmware the same for these Three Letters?

TV guide problem finally solved.. linked to my network, nothing related to the firmware update !

Will now test the Ambilight auto start issue when recording !

Hi,

just download - the ZIP contains the new version!

Ok, Thanx!

But very stupid of Philips not to update the info about WHAT version it is one picks up!


Still misspelled Swedish: Say's "Avtängnings-timer" instead of "AvStängnings-timer" in 'Allmänna Inställningar' (Common Settings ?!). An 's' missing.

And every time the TV is turned on, it tells me i have connected a CAM, but I already know that, and don't need to be informed about it every time ...

And there we also have the next misspelling; it say's it has done a "Autentiering" of the CAM, but the correct spelling is "Autentisering", check it out here: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autentisering


/LbL!

(Seems the new Internet Explorer 10 for Win7 isn't really working here in this Editor, Advanced or not, one can't hit Enter to get a new line, for one... I had to change to Opera now.)

You're picky!
