Hey, so my mum recently bought a Panasonic DMR-HWT260 which apparently should have access to On Demand stuff from TVNZ but I cannot find out how to access it. I read the other thread about HWT260 and On Demand being broken, but pressing the red button on the remote does not do anything and I cannot find any reference to On Demand anywhere in the menus or manual. Remote has a Netflix button and netflix seems to load. I have a LAN cable connected and the internet functions seem to work. Anyone able to help?

Try the green button.

Holy crap! I pressed that before and it did nothing, I swear!

Problem solved.

Thanks!

I think you'll find there is no TVNZ on Demand App any more. It's now part of the Freeview on Demand App.

It would appear so but mum will not know the difference - it is all TV on demand to her. Now to teach her how to use it...

Glad I found this thread. Just bought a HWT260 for $50 on trademe but no manual. I've printed off some of the basic manual pages but run out of paper. I just couldn't find any info. on accessing FreeviewPlus so this was a godsend. But I still have questions. Where in the manual does it tell us to use the Green button and since June TVNZ has opted out so is there any alternative means of access?
