Guess the only other alternative is to leave it on during the day & turn it off at night to get TVguide updates.
I noticed lots of models, even those with no hd or that can add new firmware, get this U99 code.
Have you tried calling a Panasonic service center to ask them about it?
Here are a couple:
WESTGATE TV- STEREO
841 W HAMILTON AVE CAMPBELL CA 95008 (408) 379-7670
TV UNLIMITED
641 GRAPE AVE SUNNYVALE CA 94087 (408) 733-6913 |
I have called Panasonic and they suggested that I do what you were told "Go get it serviced". I know for a FACT now that it is the TV Guide that is causing the trouble. I disabled the tv guide and I'm only doing timer recording and it hasn't had a U99 error even though being off for hours on end. I believe this firmware update updated the TV Guide feature. Panasonic won't tell me what the firmware addresses so I assume this is so since I didn't have a problem before. I really like the unit but now I wish I could take it back and swap it out for another brand. I plan on writing a letter to Panasonic expressing my concern with releasing buggy firmware updates. I just wish I could flash back my unit to it's previous firmware since it worked great back then, so I wouldn't have to go through this. This will definitely make me think twice about buying another Panasonic product.
