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

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.

Is Google TV an app or does it overlay all of the Android TV UI?

Latest update to 6.7210 has enabled YouTube 5.1 for me.
The release notes were less than helpful, Improves general performance of the TV.

Yeah, I really wasn't expecting more updates for my 90e

 

Haven't had enough time to play, I just hope it hasn't ruined HDMI CEC & ARC - which seemed to be working pretty well for a change.
