    [size=+1]What is MHEG5[/size]

    It’s a replacement for Teletext, with pictures and video optionally in the pages of text which should be much faster to load than old TVs. On RTE, the current program continues to be displayed in a window to the right of the Text Service. It does a lot more (potentially) than simply pretty text. “mainly” is the important word. It gives interactive access to Hidden video streams (e.g. BBC Red Button). Allows quizzes, access to information on ethernet port, More featured interactive Program guide than basic DVB program information, text with embedded video or changing images. Also can manage Over The Air firmware updates. (OTA).

    32pfl5605h
    32pfl3605h MPEG4 Version
    32pfl7605h

    All current philips models excluding the 3000 series basic non mpeg4 version - not available anymore -

    Given the main bulk of the philips units all support mpeg four and ive seen at least one from each series i think there a safe bet - For best functionality set to UK and upgrade the firmware - MHEG5 compatable with digital teletext and EPG functional -

    The list should indicate if MHEG5 works or not. It might be used for interactive selction menu of extra sports video for Olympics? Like BBC does for Wimbledon.

    Samsung:
    Samsung LE46652 Freeview HD as stocked by Curries..... MHEG also perfect.

    The three I have at home are all coming up towards a year or more old now, so unlikely to be in many retailers, but anyway:

    LG 26LG3100, MPEG4 and MHEG5
    Samsung Syncmaster 2033HD LS20CFVKF/EN MPEG 4 no MHEG5 (With the regional settings I have, possibly)
    Samsung Syncmaster T200HD LS20TDVSUV/EN MPEG4 no MHEG5 (at all)

    Just run the teletext on rte1. You should notice the difference, the video will be in the corner.

    The range ending in H for Phillips and the LG range with H before the Number eg (LG Lh3000 Lg LH5000)


  • Registered Users Posts: 43 904473


    I have a Philips 42PFL9803H. This is also compatible with Saorview. However, it will not allow an MPEG4 digital scan for channels if set for Ireland or the UK, so to receive the Saorview channels you must pick yopur country as either Norway, France or Italy. This will work, but it will make your TV display the wrong timezone (which can't be changed manually on this model).

    At the moment, Italy is the best choice on this TV as it puts the channels in the correct order.

    Is Portugal an option, out of interest? Only other country in Europe with our timezone that isn't the UK.

    Thanks for the link. I think I'll get a 32 inch altogether. What's the cheapest 32" flat screen, wall mountable hd tv you could get with mpeg 4 and mheg 5? I have about €200 to spend, but i could probably stretch that out over christmas. Sorry to annoying everyone. If this is spoiling the thread, please delete it.
