Has anyone successfully updated the firmware on this TV? LG_DTV folder on root of USB with firmware inside yields no results for me...

David, WOW! I am having the exact same problem with this unit. I want to update the firmware because of HDCP issues and it simply isn't possible as of yet. I've followed the SIMPLE instructions at least 10 times on 4 different flash drives to no avail. I called LG but they are clueless. This isn't an issue with the hundreds of HDMI cables that I own as they suggested, its the television itself. Please let me know if you figure anything out, I will do the same for you. I'm planning on calling again tomorrow, but I doubt very much anything useful will come out of it.

I was asked to answer this question but I own a LG 50PA6500 50-inch 1080p 600 Hz Plasma HDTV. I've never had a reason to update the firmware.

You might need to post the model of your TV for more assistance friend. Does the TV have any posted lists of supported USB cameras?

Hi Jennifer, Have you had any luck yet with your receiver? The Amazon web page asked me to reply. If you've fixed your problem then ignore my ramblings. So a few questions first off. Did the receiver work before and then just stop? Did you add new components or change any of your settings? Check those first. :) Maybe try to connect your devices directly to the tv to see if they still work. Good luck

I have the same problem. I bought this expensive unit and looked forward to watching the Band of Brothers series in Blu-ray. It does not work. What a big disappointment. Way to go LG for not keeping the updates going. I may return this unit for something else.

There are no further firmware updates for this model. I ran into a similar problem, although my unit wouldn't load a Blu-Ray at all, much less play it. After much frustration looking for a non-existent solution, I got a nice Panasonic Blu-Ray player - that does Internet TV *much* better, I might add - and now can enjoy my Blu-Rays while still using the rest of the Samsung unit's "home theatre" functions, which pretty much boil down to the sound system at this point. The short answer is yes, it's crap.

I love this TV. It was a purchase of a lifetime for me. However, I NEVER could get the guide working properly. My cable system has it's own guide system, but sometime, I just want to watch just the TV, and use their guide. It keeps telling me that the guide is downloading overnight, but the next day, there is still NO guide information on the screen. If you got yours working, please tell me how you did it. Thanks "Emil"

Allan, Thanks for the input. Could you clarify which TV you bought?Did you try utilizing the DLNA to connect to a PC and play movies off the PC?What are your views on the quality of the TV's picture/sound/color...etc?

Hmmm, I've not had this issue. Generally I use the usb plug on the unit and then can use its (somewhat primitive) menu via the tv/monitor. It works through all the channels for me. I suppose if you're looking for a 5.1 or 7.1 situation then it would depend on the audio file type. I hope this helps...

They are HDMI 1.4, LG has promised an upgrade kit and have told other users it will be in the form of a service technician coming to your home to do the install. Others have been told it will be a software update similar to what Sony did. I do not think you will have to ship the TV anywhere regardless of the solution.

Ronald T. Lintz did you reformat from windows or with the c250 detached from the Settings menu? Could someone please list the steps in order since I am slow and didn't get the USB after the firmware update. I picked Europe.

I'm like you, I bought mine back in July strictly for Netflix capability. FWIW, it's been working flawlessly since July on the earlier versions. Its just this latest (1.43) that screwed it up. I even tried installing an earlier working firmware version (1.27) by downloading off their support website where you burn it to a CD, put it in the tray and install directly. The unit comes back and says "Cannot install firmware. The unit has a more current version installed than the disc you are trying to use". So now, we're stuck until the fix comes.

Hi Minilith, firmware upgrade for this Sony BDPSX910 is being done using a disc (CD) only, Using a flash drive on a USB port will not work. -Ely

To further my non answer: During the limited time the unit was operational, I did not use the USB input, only HDMI. It seemed to have no problem with that input. Now I know why it was a "limited" edition.

yeah dont get this tv my friends has it. the problem with it is fuzzy picture. i did a comparison with my own 1080p Lns-4095d samsung tv. Even though my tv is relatively older it didnt have fuzzy pic. Also note that both were using hdmi cable. however the LN-T5265F did not want to swtich to a 1080p resolution. everytime we did it got static. also note that all tests were done using a ps3. I recommned a Samsung however not this one.

My Hubby had the same problem. He plugged the USB into the tv too & plugged the charger part of the cord into his phone. That fixed it

I'm glad I found your post Alan... I almost sold this TV over the OPC issue. I found it terribly irritating, but turning it on and to 1 fixed it.
