My point is make the time because in the long run you will save time with constant rebooting and factory resetting and posting comments on here- then enjoy your purchase and watch a tv as it is meant to be watched,sony in the 80s/90s with trintron & profeel monitors were a top brand but not now they are s..t
I'll agree wholeheartedly with your closing comment Andy... But ultimately Sony can either ping over an update that works or Curry's can come and get the pile of bile... I'm not emptying out a van, driving it 80 miles, putting my back out leaving the family without a telly in the main room for days etc etc etc... But I do want to see these clowns at Sony 'feet to the fire'...
When I think of the money I've spent with them over the years... 
The really sad thing is that when the set IS working the picture is pretty close to what you'd expect from a half-decent professional floor monitor...

The representative promised me that the hdd record and pip would be available on the 24th December! I explained to him that the website had stated March 16 but he said that was a timescale for other functions and updates they were working on! Not sure how true this was or if he was just trying to fob me off!
I hope this is true. However in my e-mail from them (Sony) that I received on 8th December I was told this:
"
Thank you for your recent email.
In regards to your query,we can confirm that regrettably you cannot connect a bluetooth headset to your television as it is not compatible.
In regards to the HDD recording, we are aware that certain features or services for our new TVs models are not available yet or functioning as intended and sincerely apologies for not meeting these deadlines. We would like to clarify the status of these highly anticipated features.
As for HDD recording (REC), we are also currently refining this function. We aim to have this function available before 31st of March. However, due to the technical complexity implementing this feature, the final release date(s) stipulated on our support site may be subject to change."
I and many, many others can only hope that it is well before the 31st March

Certain broadband providers (most if not all will eventually) block the illegal streaming sites. I believe in know the one (or one of them) that you mention. One way is through the apps part while another is using the built in Opera browser. Obviously I will not give any further details No, I do not use them.
