Geordiesi · 20-09-2008, 16:21

as im having problems with the HDCP between my philips 42pf5331 tv and Sky HD ive been told to have a software update - i have no idea how to do this - is it done by a tech instore or is there other ways and means??

its probably a stupid question but im so frustrated at the situation i probably cant see the wood for the trees!

you may get a software update via your roof aerial, but generally this is for freeview

if i knew what you were asking i would tell you!

im really not up on these things - all i can say is i bought this tv 18 months ago - it worked fine with sky HD for the last 2 months till this afternoon when i got a message saying HDCP wasnt compatible??

i have seen a few places that say the tv software may be out of date soi should upgrade but i have no idea how!?!?!?

asi said im not mega technical with the whole hdmi/hdcp thing...

the joys of Sky HD eh?

thanks for the advice anyways

Those are almost entirely for the Freeview side only, the TV's own software normally needs a physical update.
