When the law does come in, Clare, sure you can backup but Cinavia enabled hardware will prevent said backups being played. :-( That is what I am driving at. The industry doesn't want users to have rights and treats the public with contempt again and again.

I've read many a what hifi blu ray player review round up, but no mention of the horrible Cinavia protection technology! :-o I think readers need to be informed of this obscenity that messes with the analogue audio and prevents back ups of discs playing :-( I'm certain reading in your...

@ Bjd2772 To start with you really should be speaking directly with your retailer and getting them to inspect the goods - and see how amenable they are to replacing the unit. You should also think to switch VIERA LINK off - this can upset some non Panasonic sources. It's a waste of time...

What is it with people and reviews? :? The reviewers are mostly basing their final result on the TV post calibration. THIS is not what the majority of people will EVER see on their TVs without paying more for a professional to calibrate the TV for each source (and preferably one for day...

This is a wonderful thread to see up on the forum. All the TVs WhatHifi looks at get calibrated so they are viewed/used to the maximum of their potential. What you are mostly reading about in the magazine reviews are about optimised TV sets : WhatHifi can correct me here if I'm wrong...

http://www.whathifi.com/news/updated-panasonic-responds-to-reports-its-set-to-pull-out-of-plasma-tvs Are they or aren't they? :rofl: Make your mind up Panasonic!! ;) I'd rather you begone with your tail between your legs! :silenced: hehe

I would be unsurprised if Currys had a different model no. again to any one else! :rofl:

It's no good comparing test results from another source, were they tested under ideal conditions : mains quality, lighting etc. IF you deep black lovers really want to excel, consider getting an electrician to install a dedicated mains spur for your equipment. A filtered power block with...

We all should be a bit more friendly here and down to earth, :cheers: If you have any big guns to fire off launch them at Panasonic! ;) No matter how it benchmarks in tests and how wonderful the praise in magazines and websites, there is ONLY one test that matters and that is how it...

THIS member is/was me and I still have the blasted thing. I concur with StrappedForCash when he notes the many problems that have plagued Panasonic TVs over the past few years. Their customer service has left me exasperated and despairing of this company! :oops: "Within specification" is...

Before Comet departed a salesman showed me their Evolution series from Samsung's 2012 line. There was a space in the back where the customer could plug in an upgrade when available. Samsung customers can update Evolution TVs to this year's features/capabilities. More of which will be seen...

I certainly won't be shedding any tears were Panasonic to stop TV production. :shame: I'm absolutely disgusted with the support I had from them. :wall: What with new emerging TV technologies such as OLED and 4K on the horizon. UK customers can look forward to better products and better...

London 2012 was such a joyous landmark event in Olympic history and wonderfully uncluttered by sponsors logos. Unfortunately this is not so of the Paralympics 2012, I have already spotted sponsor logos at the venues. And having 'PANASONIC' in big labels at the velodrome track is a huge...

I really feel for you Oldboy. You might try contacting Panasonic and explain your problems with respect to the service you have had; you initially reported the fault but need to follow this up more. If you get nowhere with Richer nor Panasonic, get an independant engineer to examine and...

A final update on this saga. At the end of March 2012 I was told by Panasonic UK, an alternative TV set could not be sourced, and a time limited refund was on offer. I duly replied arguing for an exchange before resorting to the refund offer. I was expecting a response. For over a month and...
