Anyone having any negative experiences with this latest update . Someone mentioned color shift and apps not opening ,dont know if that is widespread or not .

Anyone in NZ using the latest software 5.05.25 , im a bit concerned about updating as have had issues in the past that didn't seem to affect other country's .

Funny you mentioned that , I recall after a firmware update , cant remember what version my TV developed a red tint to everybody's faces , it took a lot of messing around to correct it . Factory reset did not help .

Official site here in New Zealand still only has 5.00.35 for the LB7500 been that way since Feb this year .

Hi guys , my tv briefly showed an update was available but when i went into the settings later to check it said no update found , I was wondering if they pulled the update , so mine is still on 5.00.55 65LB7500 NZ

Are you having problems with 05.00.55 ?

Hi Michael , Are you still speaking to LG NZ regarding the 55 firmware , may be they have not released here because of the issues you and others are having . I am still waiting a reply from them regarding the sound drop outs , was tempted to try the 55 firmware but it sounds worse than what I have and Im not sure how to downgrade safely if I need to .

This sucks I am also in NZ and was going to install the link you posted for 55 but may just stick with the 5,00.35 , I dont want Plex problems as well as sound drop outs . I see they have not released this yet online or for auto update .

Official update for this seems to be taking an age , it seems every time I walk in the room my TV has reset itself to TV speakers . I dont know if there has been much difference in picture quality since the early firmware but it does seem the terrestrial tuner has a poorer picture than any other input , but not sure if that has always been that way .

It may sound stupid but check that your time is correctly set , I had an issue similar to this and found that it was due to having a different time zone set . Good luck

Hope they have . I guess we just wait for yet another update .

Hi Shayne , Have you reported this to LG , I have here in NZ and they said they would follow it up with LG Australia .

I cant remember how many updates my TV has had since I purchased but the simplink /arc has been rock solid until this update and now I am having sound drop outs and HDMI pop ups constantly . Spoke to LG and they are planning to get back to me today .

Hi what model is your set and did you have 05.00.35?

I have the Harmony 650 and found that it has a simplink button setup so if you push once it displays simplink off on the TV and push again and it turns on so I havnt had to set up a macro ,

Seems to be a pattern here ,LG fix one thing and break another . Do you program a sequence of buttons to turn on simplink ? I have been going to menu and changing the speaker out setting , its painful , I have had a moan to LG about it .

The only thing I have connected to the amp apart from the ARC connection is my Chromecast , I am thinking the sound might be disconnecting when the Chromecast goes into standby , I have unplugged it to test .

Yeah the HDMI1 pops up randomly for no reason , I have all my gear plugged into the tv and the sound via ARC / HDMI1 . Have done a reset but I think this is another firmware stuff up.

Me too , it fixed my guide problem but now the ARC is dissconecting randomly and I have to go to the sound menu and reselect the audio out preference , this never happened once before the update , hope they havnt added a bug .

Yeah I think they believe they can treat us the same as the Australians but unfortunatly we have differences with our DTV broadcast so you cannot use the one size fits all approach software wise .

I cant say I have seen any difference but I was thinking that DTV broadcast use to look clearer on one of the previous firmware's but that could be my imagination .

I am in NZ also and cannot see any difference in the latest firmware , I was hoping they may have fixed the Free view guide issues I am having but apparently that will be in the next update . There does seem to be a lack of knowledge and support from LG when it comes to this country having said that the responses you get from the LG NZ Facebook site are usually prompt and helpful . I have had Samsung TVs in the past and cant say they were any better for support .

The update on mine works ok apart from the guide not showing more than 2 shows ahead I can select from the guide and record with series link , still waiting to here back from LG NZ regarding the guide issues . Also on demand works fine .

Does your guide show more than 2 programmes ahead for tvnz and 3 and 4 because mine cant .

Me too . Not much different to the last , advanced menu takes an age . Do you still have the original freeview guide as well as the freeview plus . I no longer have that guide and the other only shows 2 programmes ahead unless I use the plus guide
