Hello everyone.

Does anyone have a Panasonic TX-P46ST30B that is connected to the internet?

Would it be possible to check channel 110 (vision tv, a channel used to access more foreign Internet TV channels) and see if you're able to navigate through the different internet channels easily or do you have to wait for the stream to begin before you can change between the Internet channels?

All other smart tv's and set-top-boxes are much more smoother or is my tv faulty?

On everything that I have tried these interactive services take ages to load and the picture quality is seriously compromised !

I agree, the picture quality is poor.

I don't have this particular model (TX something 37... def. not a plasma but LED from Pana), but it's the same.. all internet based channels on my freeview are slow to load and I can only change once they stream.. not so great tbh..

Thanks Ju411. I hope this can be improved with a firmware update.

Theres nothing smooth about internet streaming, it was never meant to be a low latency technology. Cable providers like at&t u verse get around this with clever systems where they lower latency of stream changes by on the fly switching from direct ip broadcasting to multicast as necessary, you aren't going to get that kind of thing for free.

I can deal with the stream, it's the software that I find frustrating.
