Looks like there maybe some sort of pie update coming for the slightly older Sony android TVs . Has been released on Sony's Latin site , hard to tell if this will be a full Pie update or just UI look alike .

Interesting. Will keep an eye out and see before 'ugpgrading'. I've disabled/uninstalled pretty much all the apps via ADB on my x900e (which has sped up menu's and general responsiveness) and primarilly use it just as a 'dumb' TV/screen for the Sheild to do the 'smart' things. Hopefully no silly ARC issues again! 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Yeah it always seems to be arc that takes a hit after big updates , had that a couple of times on my previous LG after updates .

v6.6575 was pushed to my TV overnight. Not really used the tv since, so cannot comment on stability.

Installed on my x900f, pretty big update this one so be prepared to wait 15 minutes. Still as sluggish as before, wireless couldn't connect at first but it got there in the end. I'll see how it goes in the next few days and maybe install the new Google TV overlay for it

Sometimes the updates can be sluggish at first , hopefully it settles down , whats the Google TV overlay?

Would this DTS thing be relevant at all here -

Installed Pie on 65x9000e no issues, tried to install Google TV but the UI wasn't loading fully so reverted back to Android TV.

Might give it another go tonight.
