Panasonic viera query

Dony · 2010-01-10 21:56:57

Finally made the leap last week and bought a panasonic viera TXP42 V10. Anyone thinking of buying one of these tv's should just go and do it. You won't have any regrets. Was going to get a 46 or 50inch but decided in the end to go for a 42 because I didn't want it to take over the room. Glad I got the 42. Its plenty big!…

Will these also tune to normal cable frequencies?

No, they have UHF tuners only - no vhf, but some people have suggested using a VCR to tune in cable.

The bit you quoted about the Panasonics with Freesat tuners not having an MPEG4 decoder is untrue, they ONLY have an MPEG4 decoder, but it is backwards compatible with MPEG2.

i have tested mpeg4 on a V10 and AT THE MOMENT mpeg4 works on it fine.

there is no guarantee how long it'll work though.

Thanks, Big Moe, I finally bit the bullet anyway and purchased yesterday afternoon. There is more than one way of getting RTE programmes on the telly when all is said and done.
