So newest firmware actually should be sh875m_20091114_00.ruf – downloadable directly from samsung homepage (I used samsung.com.uk) Even if at download page the old firmware number is written the download link is giving you the new firmware.

It seems that EPG is improved, but still there are some bugs left. I still recognize some system crashes, especially if I switch to channels with low signal or when waiting for the EPG.
Also I dislike that channels cannot be sorted as I want to but can only be somehow handled in favourite lists. Even my first TV with remote switch could do that!

Does anybody knows something about an alternative firmware?
I would like to try and give report to that.

Best regards

David

So I just tested the “new” firmware and it has improved EPG which was still slow after last update and timeshift, which is now working just great even with bad digital tv signal. Seems samsung invested some time in that update even I didn’t thought they would

@Dan Really! The Download is available at samsung download center, even if the description says it is the old one the download is named with new version. Just check it, I’m just testing the new update with my 875M – let’s hope there is some improvement again

@chris Really? I’ve not been able to find a later version anywhere and googling for the number you supply doesn’t come up with any results… perhaps you could point me in the right direction?

Thank you , The Player seems to have improved , I have been getting picture freeze and the player locks up and the only way out is to reboot the mains so hoping this may help . With Thanks Brian

Thank you so much. I had just about given up on this machine (SH875M)as it was unusable to record freeview. I thought I had wasted my money but what a difference after the firmware update. Thanks again Mike.
