Hi there

 

Unfortunately the information posted about what the update is for, is always a week or 2 behind.  Best to check in a week or 2. If its not apparent on what has changed, its normally a bug fix, in the lines of "improving the stability of...."

 

Cheers.

Hi there.

I don’t know if it’s the same, but the Asian Pacific update version PKG3.901GAA, for TV models such as Sony-asia - Download - KDL-42W650A and KDL-42W658A, say only this:

 

“Improvements over earlier version:

Improves the performance and stability of the Internet TV features.”

 

Nothing on US Sony Support site (last version PKG3.802AAA), and only 3-4 posts on US Sony Community: http://community.sony.com/t5/4K-Ultra-HD-TV/new-firmware-for-XBRX900A/td-p/198175

Since I upgraded last night, the bbc iplayer hasn't been working (says service is unavailable at this time). Netflix works fine though, and iplayer was working fine before the update. Anyone else experiencing this?

Also, does Netflix hang on the 'exiting' screen for everyone else too? I've only had this tv a couple of weeks, but the software bugs are rapidly diminishing my initial love of this product. I had to restore the factory settings before it would even begin installing the software update properly.

BBC iPlayer working, but have to use Return button to exit netflix.

 

I really like my KDL42W653A  and think it is a great TV for price paid. Hope it lasts longer then 5years 2 weeks when my other sony died 2 weeks after guarantee period  expired !

Ours is working too now. All is forgiven (except the netflix exiting bit, but that's ey to workaround)
