Banana Software / TV matures at the customer - or rotten

I can agree with parts of the review of Alex Ra-only and have added a small supplement.

Quote:

"2. The recording function is a disaster ... With a USB flash drive is not working, you need at least 25GB memory. The hard disk is formatted and you can not store your own data on it. I tried 2 hard drives. They were easily recognized and Almost everything has been formatted. I for testing multiple shots programmed. added. Fast because when 2 shots unknown error occurred ... I've managed to watch a couple of recorded shows. Then the device crashed and the hard drive was no longer recognized. So it went with two hard disks. One I've then still formatted ... otherwise they would not be recognized as a storage ...
Apart from that, you can watch the recordings only on the same device. With a satellite receiver you have not the problem.

Smart TV and other features need a few years of development to one that can be used without any problems. A video player is there much more sophisticated and offers more opportunities at least if you want to watch your own content. "

My Remarks:

Totally strange effects are occurring when you want 55PFL6606K / 02 navigate the online sector of Philips. In this you have mandatory if you want to program a recording. That's right - without an active internet connection no recording. Today at day no problem should be thought - but until the Philips 55PFL6606K / 02 (if any) can be done much good stuff connects to the "Online Service" ..

Here are my "Best of Five" on the way to Philips mandatory "online service"

1. Registration

"Please register with him at Gracenote and accept the general. Terms and Conditions"

I think it's good to know that I have registered myself now already 287 times at Gracenote. That gives me a deep sense of security that one because now knows me. I will also make it 288 times again. Is also relatively fixed - to navigate in a window and click "OK". "Gracenote" best googling)

2. A portion of the graphical user interface (Online invites menu, but program information is not available / can not be displayed. A return to the main menu is possible, however, the otherwise already cozy response time Philips has now arrived 55PFL6606K / 02 chill-out mode. I recommend valerian tea, Botox directly into the CNS or a reboot.

3. A progress bar will appear. The Philips 55PFL6606K / 02 has razor-sharp recognized the need to first set up a connection to the Internet. To do this type of network connection be specified (WLAN o.LAN) After the progress bar is now running out u. Forth ... and back ... and forth ... I'm starting times to my living room to clean up a little, make me a coffee , call a friend, cross me think a magazine to write about after the head of development of these brilliant Philips Software a nice letter ... Ok - the television has decided not to share his skills at least at this meeting with me. I recommend a full restart. Then it's actually sometimes faster.

4. The Philips 55PFL6606K / 02 has a pause function. Now almost everyone knows - the picture freezes and you can comfortably after you could convince the dog the hand of the postman to spit again resume watching TV. So I know it from my satellite receiver. The Philips 55PFL6606K / 02 here has a special trick on Lager..Man presses the pause button - the picture freezes - are pressing the play button ... and you can now operate in gambling: Either the TV has received wonderful everything .. .or he just starts the program in the present.

5. The Philips 55PFL6606K / 02 has a good day. The machine and I are on that day friends. Flux has the network connection to the Philips "online service" established the TV program and a list with time navigation to broadcast programming is displayed. I program a recording and the TV starts (no joke) actually time recording. I'm glad. After the shots (assuming the online registration runs again successfully) I see actually under "Recordings" the recorded program. However, behind the following observations "size of the recording in MB" and "unknown error". Unfortunately, the recorded program can not be played.

Life is Beautiful.
