philips 32pfl5522d memory.

Chris, When I first got this fault I changed the psu from another set and it was still the same so I think this rules out caps in psu. So I guess it's just Philips. Doug

this is defo a firmware issue there is a fix for it but being Philips even the core programming changes from set to set you can phone technical and if your lucky enough to get a technical minded person and not a peanut eating monkey they'll e mail you a link to the correct firmware update for the set .

Ive got 3 of this chassis doing the same thing, but it will remeber the channels on one transmitter(belmont) but loses a Mux an another(Waltham)

Im experimenting with a few different methods and I will keep you posted if I get anywhere

funnily never had to do a firmware update on a phil theres so many other faults on these sets I've always had a spare mainboard from one i've been forced to scrap for some other reason !

hi have you cured this problem yet.worst cases have had to fit a bandpass filter on aerial as said before done loads of them at wrk we are philips sevice agents dont forget to keep menu pressed on tv to get back to virgin mode after the update sent to you tv memory only holds 200 channels if it sees anymore it will dump original and try to fit them again

Hi Astracat, Tried your info on 8gb card cos I didn't have a smaller one. Didn't work but I have ordered a couple of 32mb cards & will try again. Will keep you posted, Doug

Hi folks,

Had similar probs on old stuff, mainly PVRs - guess you're whistling for updates from above, some chance - Chris

Hi doug

I think you will find the new firmware will cure loss of teletext, it doesn't cure the memory problem.
I will get around to it soon and see if i can find something that works

Hi Brian,

Thought that automatically transmitted downloads should be the biz to update firmware - on trying to update troublesome sets with this facility on install menu it invariably comes up with Now't.

Wonder why ?  - Chris

Hi Chris

The Firmware update for this set is done via a SD card in a PCMCIA adaptor. I don't think all firmware updates can be done automatically over the air, (I'm not sure about this one) They also rely on you having the set switched on(or in standby depending on make) on the day they do the OAD, so it is pretty random if the sets pick it up at all.
