I have the Panasonic DMR-PWT530 (Blu-ray player twin digital tuner with an internal Hard Drive). It had a firmware update on the 02/06/2015, to v1.37 and I have found that it won't show the Al Jazeera channel, it just shows "no service" even though the signal strength & quality show maximum. Al Jazeera has been viewed through the '530' for many many months prior to the update. (not sure if update is cause).
A 32 inch Samsung TV I have, the UA32H5500AS, also had a firmware update in June & now also will not show Al Jazeera. Updated the firmware last night to the one that was released on the 03/07/2015 but that made no difference. This firmware is v2139 and the one in June was v2138.
I have two other Panasonic TVs and a Magic TV 3600 Set-top box & they still show Al Jazeera. None of those have had a firmware update. I think something in the two firmware updates are causing the problem.
I can't think of any other reason, other than the firmware updates, causing this because of the other units showing Al Jazeera.
Anyone else experiencing Al Jazeera showing on one device but not another, where both used to show Al Jazeera?
You need to look to see if the firmware in the units are the same as mine.
