I have never knowingly updated the panasonic fw, but it may have done so
itself.

That's exactly what's happening with mine. Updates are done
automatically overnight. There's one due at 0310 in the morning that
may fix it, so leave your telly in standby to grab it.

1) How do you know the update schedule?

2) Does the TV have the tuner powered up in stby to pick these up?

I'll pay closer attention from now on.

I'm actually a little surprised that you've got hardware that isn't

considerably better over the last 2-3 years. I assume it's something
like a webcam or scanner?

One of them's a perfectly ordinary Belkin wireless card which I'd been
using on my spare computer, and XP managed fine with it but neither
Ubuntu nor SuSe could see it at all. I did a Google search for
suggestions and tried to understand the ones I found, even tried
installing a few suggested files but eventually gave up in frustration
because life's too short to have to mess with something like this when
others (Microsoft) have already managed to make it work.

The Wacom graphics tablet doesn't work with Linux either, but I decided
not to waste my time trying. The computer is dual-boot, so it's useful
to me when running XP, but I can only realistically use Linux for
messing about when I'm bored and trying to learn a bit about it,
nothing serious. I like the idea of escaping from Microsoft World
Domination, but as long as Windows just works, and Linux requires me to
learn Geekspeak, it isn't going to happen for me.

1) How do you know the update schedule?

I did a manual update scan yesterday (go into the set up menu) and it
scanned for an update and told me when the next update was due. Also,
someone over at AV Forums told me.

2) Does the TV have the tuner powered up in stby to pick these up?

I believe it does. Left mine on standby and it updated. Maybe when
the telly is on, a date is sent over the air (like a timer setting)
telling the tuner to activate at the correct time. This is an
assumption BTW.

I'll pay closer attention from now on.

Can I ask you:

TV model;
Current FW version?

Mine's a TH-42PZ85B.
Current FW is 1.102 ( no date ).

The EPG is working correctly at the moment.

In the menus, 'AutoUpdate in Stby' is set to ON, so I guess it does power up
the tuner.

I did a manual scan for updates, but I got bored after a couple of minutes
waiting and cancelled out. Got no message about future availability or
anything. I guess it's already picked up the latest update last night (
hence the working EPG ), and there are none further planned at the moment.
