@Caledonian_TV I try to compare your experience with mine:
I tried to import a channel list last night Manuel... Import failed! - It worked before the update!
> (If you can explain the error) Worked for me partially, after importing the Digital channel list was updated but not the sat one
i) I STILL have the issue with satellite channels deleting themselves from the 'favourites' list.
> I never tried the favourites I will do it this weekend and let you know
ii) STILL have the problem of deleted channels re-appearing on the satellite tuning list.
> Same frustrating behaviour in my side
iv) STILL no Diseqc control; even though it's there on the menu.
> I don't know how this works and what is supposed to do, I'm new with sat TV, if you like send me a private msg so I can try to test in my TV
v) STILL have severe latency between HDMI inputs and optical out when outputting anything other than PCM - which renders the set unsuitable for use with a home cinema system.
> Not using HDML, the optical connection to my sound bar never had problems, and in the past I used my laptop to play some video content and I didn't notice any issue, send me a private msg with some detail so I can try to reproduce the issue
- And I remain completely unconvinced this set will be capable of receiving future UHD transmissions as it cannot decode the Fransat UHD test transmission - mainly because there is no facility to adjust the receiver's parameters to do so.
> I tried yesterday withe the two astra UHD channels, they worked for me and the quality was actually impressive
The tuning UI for satellite channels is unusable in any case... The external editing 'application' - which one might find only by having the good luck to be directed to it ( Sony don't tell you!) is VERY limited... No facility to rename channels for instance ( as might be necessary).
> Agree
No facility either to customise the 'home screen' so that items in which the viewer is uninterested don't have to be 'waded through' to do something as basic as change inputs... Similarly; the set cannot be customised so that meddling fingers aren't tempted to interfere witht hings the owner might want left well alone....
> Agree
Then of course there are the random re-boots/lock ups.
> I had only ad lock for almosta minute when I was testing the sat channels, it was still showing the tv channel and playing the audio properly. If this is your case try using the side view app to show the guide and change channel from there, it unlocked my tv.
There is some very SERIOUS and FUNDAMENTAL lack of competence with the so-called 'Engineers' who are tinkering with the 'advanced facilities' of these sets when they have not yet produced a platform that reliably does the very basic things a TV set of this calibre is supposed to be able to do!
> Unfornunately I agree
"I personally don't trust Sony animore, I'm glad I didn't buy jet the camera I wonted, I'm really considering to add Sony to ma NO BRAND list."
> Yes that's mine... with my typos 
This is the second item from Sony that has let me down... Some years ago I had a Blu-Ray player off them which 'bricked' itself after only two years... And in any case wouldn't play about 1/4 of the discs presented to it. The 'cheap' LG (half the price) which replaced it in a hurry has been utterly reliable... In the latter half of 2016 I'll be upgrading my filming kit to 4K - probably spending around £30K on cameras an monitors.
- After this little 'experience'?
We would appear to have paid through the nose for something that's no better than no-brand supermarket junk! And - very obvously - Sony's design and engineering people really don't understand the very basics of their job.
You can be VERY sure that Sony is well-off my list of possible suppliers... If they can no longer build a household telly properly what hope is there for their more sophisticated kit?
