Hello.

During CES I heard a news that Sony will bring Android 6 (Marshmallow) to the 2015 TV lineup.

Hi Quinnicus, does this mean the OTA update is still being rolled out?

Found one very annoying feature/bug from epg.

I use favourites in EPG to filter unwanted channels away and TV button from remote is configured to show digital "source". Every time when i press TV button ftom remote tv changes epg source from favourites to digital where are all channels listed.

Is there any way prevent this?

Any chnce of some stats on how many downloads hve been done in the UK. Ideally stats on number of tickets

raised would be good.

It's hard to guage how trouble free this release is as mostly people only post if there are issues. Looking at a lot of the posts they seem to be from tech savvy guys who are pushing the TV rather thn timid guys like me who want TV, Netflix and using it as a monitor.

I'm still not clear if I'll still be able to record if I use the USB drive as system extension.

Well done to the pioneers out there who are getting the pain.

Cheers

@Will_cain

you won't. You can't use the same drive as internal storage and for recording.

Can you choose how to use the attached drive?

Hi there

Unfortunately the answer is no - Sony wont release those stats.

Cheers

yes. For each drive you plug in you get a full screen popup where you chose what do you want to do with the disk.

But ATM, handling the disks is quite broken. See my two topics about issues I encountered so far.

Didn't try the recording yet (apart from trying to use the same drive as internal storage).
