Lack of promised i-player from Freesat on Panasonic TV

Anyone know why the promised i-player upgrade as never arrived?

David

Probably because I player is turning into a disaster, see my earlier thread.

The hardware in the Panasonic TV cannot be reprogrammed to support the
Iplayer?

I frequently watch the BBC i-player via my Bush Freesat receiver (connected
to Virgin 10 meg broadband) and even watching full screen on a 32" TV set to
'higher quality', I have rarely experienced any problems.

Probably because we haven't yet reached the promised date. You don't say
what model you have, but according to the Panasonic website 2010 models
already have iPlayer, 2009 models are planned to get it in July and 2008
models need to wait until at least September.

Thank you will take the worst case then of it being September as I have had
it awhile. Should it turn out to be July will be a bonus.

Anyone got a current 2010 model with the correct update in, is it working?
Or do we have to wait further for Freesat to do their bit?

PS we have a Wii console with the i-player update and it plays the programs
back ok, so I wonder if those of you i-player problems if it is your
Internet connection?
Definition with the Wii is not the greatest but just about passes, hoping
the TV will do better that is why I keen for the TV update.

I have seen reports that it is working with the current models.

I have a current model (Freeview + Freesat) but don't have a satellite
dish. It's a bit silly that you need one to get iPlayer over the
internet...

Surely you are kidding? Like you, I have a Freesat enabled TV but no
satellite dish. The internet features I have work find without it but I've
not triued recently to see whether I have iPlayer.

Not thought of using the internet connection, what can it do for you?
I will then do it too if of interest to me.

The internet connection itself works perfectly well without a
satellite dish. But how do you use an internet connection to access
iPlayer? On a computer, you use a web browser. But the TV does not
have a web browser.

You use a widget. Or so I've heard.
