Has any one else had any experience with trying to install the BBC iPlayer app onto the Panasonic TX-P42X60B ?? I have searched online and cannot find anything to suggest it should not work....

Many Thanks

i have just quickly read the specs for this model on a couple of sites and both have a big red X against any networking features including iPlayer.

It's only a cheap bottom of the range tv and it's not even full HD.

You are right. £300 for a 42 inch TV, what do you expect?

Maybe once of those Roku jobbies would do the trick?

or get a sky now box for £10 - would add iplayer, 4od, five on demand and any sky stuff you want to subscribe to.

So you have it connected to your router with a LAN cable and you've pressed 'Viera Connect'?

Should get this....

I have no idea what you mean by installing an app? As Chebby showed above, iPlayer is one of the inbuilt options.

The Grrrr is referencing the Crapola Inc. forum software, not your post.

The TX-P42X60B appears to have more internet capability than the manufacturer specifications say (i.e. software updates only). iPlayer is available via the Red Button menu (although the picture quality isn't brilliant, even with the 'HD' option selected) and several 'internet only' channels on Freeview work too. However, the latter take a very long time to load even over a 60Mbps cable link.
