How is it? What's new?

Completed succesfully. Installation lasted more than 30 minutes.

Everything seems OK.

What remains unsolved and new issues:

1. Slow response in Digital Adjustments and Satellite Programme List Edit .

2. After search, Satellite Channels are placed again over 101 .........

3. YouView appeared in Settings-Apps-Running apps but is not supported in my region....(the app does not exist but runs in background...)

4. Programme List Transfer in Digital Setup - Technical Setup remains Greyed(fade) unable to select if my Logitech K400 plus USB transmitter is plugged-in.

5. Location status appears everytime TV is rebooted.

6. General Satellite gives an error: No signal. Please check your antenna connection. This happens if in sequence:

a. Reboot from home or Digital(DVB-T)

b. TV starts in digital(DVB-T).

c. General Satellite is selected after Digital(DVB-T)

and... can be solved only if Digital is selected again and then go back to General Satellite.

7. Deleted Satellite channels re-appear themselves automatically.

8. Satellite Channels re-arrange themselves automatically if TV is Soft-reboot within Digital(DVB-T).

9. TV remains Active in Network even if powered OFF with Remote Control.

10. Using Favourites lists in both Digital and Satellite and browsing with Remote Control PROG +/- , mixes channels from these different tuners. Digital Favourites1 go by themselves to Satellite Favourites1.

Now what came back:

1. 20 seconds TV freeze but till now only at Settings Menu - Digital Adjustments.

2. TV dimming and un-dimming when subtitles appear in dark schenes of movies.

What seems to be solved:

@Tye1991

Can you confirm if you already had a working netflix account before the update? Or are you trying to create one?

Can you also confirm if your TV is connected to the Network properly?

Also, see:

http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/PS4-Support/Problem-with-Netflix-Error-code-ui-800-3/m-p/21658609

What ISP are you with? And what is the make/model of your router?

Sorry for the 100 questions. Im just gathering information.

Cheers

No problem! Again thank you for the prompt response:

The tv is connected to the internet and after quick tests I can confirm other video apps such as youtube and Amazon Prime are functional.

And I am with BT and my hub is a BT Home Hub 5!

Ive just attempted to load up netflix on my 2016 tv. I cannot get past the initial 'netflix' splash screen where the red circle icon just keeps going around and around.

How far do you get?

Issue is in Sony hands now. it seems different issues depending if your account was already setup on the tv or not.

Advise to wait and do nothing about netflix until Sony advise further now.

I did try to make an account but when they asked for a credit or bank account FOR A TRIAL PERIOD, I stopped.

I don't like this kind of people

Anyway I start adding my issues in an previous answer and I will inform later in an other new post.

Too many problems with electronics lately. Today I send back my new Lenovo B70-80 to Lenovo because they had used a problematic Elan touchpad although they knew issue with those touchpads since 2012. I don't know what to say anymore
