Bravia Android TV - Why is Programme List Transfer greyed out?

Mkohman — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 19:33:05 GMT

I have just purchased a Sony Bravia KDL43W805C and updated yesterday to the latest firmwared. After scanning the satellite tuner, I have several hundreds of programmes. I need to go through these to delete and reorder them, but the built-in functionality is severely lacking in this department.

I discovered a piece of software called Sony Editor, but this requires the programme list to be transfered to a USB drive. Even with an empty USB drive inserted into the TV, the "Programme List Transfer" option in the Satellite/Technical menu is greyed out. Why is this and what can be done to enable it?

Hi there

Are you using an external wireless Keyboard connected to USB? Not a Bluetooth one.

I had the same problem when my Logitech K400+ keyboard was connected to a USB port.

I removed the small keyboard USB receiver and voila !!!

Technical Set-up --- Programme List Transfer was selectable again.

I cant help but laugh at how something like that interfers with the detection of a usb storage device for the programme transfer list.

Back to early '90s PC USB problems

Hi. At least on my W755C the problem was another USB drive inserted in dedicated recording port. I pulled it out, and menu choice was enabled instantly. I could backup DVB-C cable channels and edit them in in software.

P.S. what a crappy interface, do not buy those Android TVs.

Hopefully this problem will get resolved with future FW updates.

That's the solution to my problem too.

I had a USB plugged in to another port that I use for my wireless keyboard and mouse. They make life very simple I think, but there is always a down side. So I plugged this little USB out and immediately my Transfer Programme Lis icon becomes active...Yahoo!

Thanks very much for the revelation.
