>> My old (not very) smart Panasonic telly showed a message last night while on BBC
iPlayer telling me that from Oct 31 Panasonic will no longer support I-player and I'll
have to get a set-top box to continue watching>>
How old? When we moved in to our village 'retirement home' 15yrs ago we inherited a Panasonic Viera connected to a Bose Lifestyle hi-fi system which the previous owners left. (Useful only when better sound quality desired). I guess it's around 18yrs old. It's displayed no such message and still seems to work OK. My only grouse is that it can cause interference noise on the FM radio if both on at the same time.
