Will there ever be another firmware update for this device? The Youtube app feels very clunky and freezes 70% of the time I try accessing it.

The strength of the box is its ability to recognize and play a wide variety of media files which is great, but that's it. All the other accoutrements are "clunky" and in some cases unusable at best.

Had similar issues a few months ago but there was I new software update that followed a few days later. Happy to say I haven't any problems since with Netflix or Youtube. Check the see if you have new updates I'm currently on IOS 7.0.4 so it may fix the issues you are having.

I think that I had to update it after it was connected or I check to see if there were any up dates before I set it up. Hope this answered what you needed to know. Firmware should be check periodicaly on these devices.

I think you're correct and would stay with current firmware. I didn't realize they were coming out with a 10" frame. I'd be interested in more info on that. Is it posted anywhere? Thanks

Works fine for me. Never seen it. For almost an year restarted it only two times to upgrade the firmware.

I have only had my Coby for a little over a week and decided that doing the firmware upgrade was probably a good idea. I noticed mine wasn't on the most recent release. I figure that they have probably had a few of these machine instock for a while so the firmware wouldn't be up to date.

I've had this once too. But it wasn't with youtube, it was just that I unplugged from one TV and went and plugged it in another. It froze while loading. I had to hit the reset button on the bottom and redo all my account logins. Only happened once so far, I only used it a handful amounts of times so far but I don't really use YouTube much. Hope this helps.

Yeah, in my case, I know it isn't a firmware issue. At this point, my player no longer reads/plays any discs at all. It is pretty much dead in the water for discs. It can still do online stuff, but I have a 360 for that. I talked to LG and they suggest sending it in for repairs, but I've read nothing but negative comments from people who have tried that route. Thanks for the help with the Oppo. It might be the way to go. If anyone else wants to add their 2 cents, I'd appreciate it.

My son watches a lot of videos on YouTube and occasionally has issues where it locks up. Unsure if it's an issue with the Wi-Fi or the laptop. He still manages to watch them for hours at a time, so it can't be that big of an issue. :)

So far, Vizio has not released any firmware updates for this TV. And I do not expect them to ever do it, since they completely abandoned this model, sadly. The "Smart TV" apps are a lost cause, but at least they could update the aspect ratio modes, to include some useful ones that don't require the TV to guess the black bars (often incorrectly, or hampered by station logos)

Lester, I am sorry but I don't know. I updated the firmware couple of months ago and didn't make a notation of either the original firmware version or the latest version downloaded. I have found there is frequently a more recent of firmware than the one loaded at new. Makers sometimes suggest doing a firmware update when making the original setup which I think is a great idea since there maybe something to do with security in the latest version.

Yes I updated the firmware. It was not hard and it seemed to work. But its been a while since I've done it.

This was my biggest beef. For such an expensive item and in todays world we should be able to get firmware updates. I am not aware of any way to update the firmware. I hope someone can prove me wrong. I do own it despite my concern.

Watching netflix, the playback is choppy. It is as if the hardware can't keep up. It isn't our internet, we watch netflix on a variety of WiFi devices in this house and it works great on all of them. Everything is updated, I have not been able to resolve it. I'm very disappointed.

I had (and still have) the same problems (standard def dvd freezing/choppy playback/check disc errors) prior to updating the firmware. I think the problems just coincided with the timing of the firmware update. LG needs to get on this and make things right for their customers.
