Hello. Ive got a query but can not find a PANASONIC or TV topic.

 

Ive got a panasonic Viera 32DS500 series tv. It has Netflix as well as other apps, which i have 2 questions.

 

1) How do i UPDATE / CHECK my "netflix" app on the TV - i'm having a small error which the Netflix team suggest I update the app. I cant find the option.

 

I can MOVE the app to another place on the screen, or REMOVE the app. but cant update/check an app for latest version.

 

3) How do I check with panasonic & download / install new apps (if available - apps i do not currently have)

 

4) is there a list on the panasonic website of TV versions - & how old they are etc.. & what apps/options are available ? 

 

 

 

EDIT: Found where to add new apps (the TVNZ app is not found/available)

 

But havnt found a way to check/update NETFLIX app yet

The Apps just install / update in the back ground and you can check for software updates in the menu of the TV

 

It's very simple

 

Question 4 have you visited the Panasonic website or called Panasonic?

Or a FW update if it is a factory bundle and you have not been given an OTA

 

My tv is a VT50 series (like, ollld) and netflix 'app' is more a PWS app - the old logo front end fires up.

 

And then switches to an HTML front-end update, logo changes and it loads as expected but missing all the fancy live previews and so on

 

Rather screwed once they stop supporting it, but I imagine the other later models would perform in similar fashion.
