Guide Plus+ PanasonicTV - TxL37E30B.
I have an issue with slow download and limited information on Guide Plus+. Only current and next programs are shown - with slow download - which is obviously inconvenient and frustrating for planning viewing.
This issue seems to have started about 21st Nov 2020. Prior to that some minor download speed was apparent, but full 7/8 day program data was available.
There is much chatter about this on the net, some of which suggests the problem originates with the broadcaster and linked (probably) to Freeview channel changes and/or data transmission changes, and some suggest it is a Panasonic problem. I have my doubts that it is a Panasonic problem since my DVB recorder - also Guide Plus+ - has no problems.
The signal strength of most channels on my receiver is excellent - I live about 10 miles south (B68), and in view of the transmitter.
Could you comment please. Is there a related problem with transmission changes linked to Freeview updates. and will it be resolved in the future (not to distant I hope)?
Thank you for your support.

Thanks for your reply.
You have provided me with much useful info (that will take me a while to digest) but confirmed my thoughts that the transmission and dvd recorder are OK and the fault lies within the TV.
I have an additional reply from js, who posted a web address where Pan have released a firmware update - in June 2020. This apparently fixes the problem.

Thanks for your reply.
I have checked the 'https://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com' web site you mention and downloaded the update file for my TV.
Several people on the 'https://forums.digitalspy.com' commented that this update has solved their Guide Plus+ problem. So I have confidence in installing it.
