Anyone purchased the w800c Tv? I recently purchased one and loving it overall.
My only issue is the 3D feature. Was wondering if anyone can assist me on this.
I purchased a pair of these glasses:

Im still unable to use the 3d feature. Running on Kodi (installed on tv itself).
Glasses has been registered and recognized but still unable to watch in 3d.
If anyone has the same tv and the glasses managed to get 3d working, please guide and assist. Much appreciated.

Thanks. I have 4 rooms to furnish with TV for Airbnb. Still thinking whether to buy Android Tv or normal Tv with android boxes.

Due to the recent kodi 17.x incompatibility with kitkat and below, what is the best solution?

I'm leaning toward android TV for lesser equipment to maintain (or operate) - storage, update, power adapter, socket, wireless keyboard/ remote controller batteries / charging etc.

Android TV is a lot of expensive than non-android TV with android tv box.

Android TV you are limited to certain model of SONY and Sharp. Non-android TV you have Hisense, Haier, Toshiba and what not.  rclxm9.gif

Makes sense. i was asking relevant question in other thread, if i were to buy mxq pro with non android tv. can i do the below. Just hide the box behind the TV and power up by the TV.

Can i use usb - power plug like above to power the unit straight away from USB port from the TV instead of using adapter to socket? Anyone tried it?

Do I need to update?

Your system software may already be up to date, especially if you have a new Bravia TV model. If you're not sure, it's easy to check which version of system software you have. Please follow these instructions to check it.

Power on the TV set and press the HOME button on the Remote Commander to display the Home Menu.
Navigate to the Help from Settings category and press OK to select it.

The version number is shown on the left portion of ? icon or  top right corner of the screen.


What do you need?

A computer with access to the internet
A compatible TV
A compatible USB storage device* (with at least 4GB available storage space)
How to update?
Follow the simple steps below to update your TV system software. Once you have updated, all your personal settings on the TV will remain the same.

How to make sure the update goes smoothly
Updating is usually very simple. Here's how you can make sure it goes right first time:

Read the instructions carefully or you could end up causing the TV to become unresponsive or require a repair.
Don't turn the TV off - or disconnect it from the power - while it's updating.
Don't press any buttons, except the ones mentioned in the instructions.
Stop any recording before you start with the system software update.
Download the update
Before you install the update, you'll need to download it from the internet and save it to a USB stick

Read and accept the Terms & Conditions below and click download button.
When prompted, save the file to your Desktop. When the update download is complete, check that the file size is 1,558,614,751 bytes. To do this, right click the file, select properties and check the size in the General tab.
Open Windows Explorer, locate the downloaded sony_tvupdate_2015_3885_paa_auth.zip, and unzip it. A folder sony_tvupdate_2015_3885_paa_auth will be created in your local drive after unzipped. A file of sony_dtvxxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx.pkg will be contained in this folder.
Copy the .pkg file to the root of your USB device.
