Something New

On Saturday when we turned the television on, All we got was the menu. Menu to set it up. I changed the batteries in the remote. I cleaned the lens with alcohol and swabs. I changed all batteries as the other infra red could interfere with reception. (I read all this in the literature).
We dinked around with the remote until it finally stayed on a channel and was OK. Sunday the same problem, again. Monday the same problem.
It would flash to the channels for us, when we pressed menu or Exit, but it would flash back to the menu. This went on for maybe thirty minutes, each day.
So today I called Philips to see if I needed to do something.
Well get this, I need to reprogram my television. It obviously has had five updates I have not updated to. Who Knew???
Not me..
So now I have to go on line to Philips and download all this information to a USB drive, put that into the television port and upgrade.
How about that?
Sounds so easy and I did not even know my television had a port on it, but I did find it and tomorrow or later I will get that drive and upgrade my television.
So I learned something new today.
Very interesting.
