Help With Panasonic 50GT50

Posted by: Neill Ferguson on 03 December 2012

Wondering if anyone can help me I have just taken delivery today of the above Tv I'm rather impressed with the performance so far. There is just one problem I can't get ITVHD through it because I live in Scotland anyone know any short cuts cheats to add this? I know you can get it because I used to have it on my Loewe Tv.

On some TV sets you have to tell the TV the postcode you live in so it can determine which channels are your local ones.

Have you done this or found in the manual that you do not have to do it.

I haven't tried that Derek. I was hoping there was some other method however its not looking like it. Its all a bit of a pain hopefully some sort of firmware update will correct this in the future.

Setting the Postcode in the Pany I have was easy - it is just a matter of looking at the setup menus and punching in the code, you will have to do it for both Freeview and Freesat I think.

It is not a problem requiring a firmware update it enables TVs to pick up the appropriate channels for the area of the country the set is operating in.

No I have an earlier Panasonic - what type of TV reception are you trying to receive

Freeview

Freesat

Freesat from Sky

The post code section is detailed in my manual in the autosetup section
