Not knowing the make and model of your TV, some TVs have upgradeable software that you can download to fix this problem.
By any chance, does your TV have a USB/SERVICE port?

-   Unfortunately, the usb upgrade did nothing for this problem. Apparently this is common, and there is no solution other than the upgrade, so if it doesn't work, you'll be sending it back to philips. What a P.O.S. TV! -   glensbigtv

Ok, you should be able to go to the philips web site and download a software for your TV for free.
The web site should show you how to preform this procedure with a USB memory stick.

I hope this works for you. So far, it worked for everyone else that had the same problem.
