I'm unshure if I have posted in the correct forum.
But however I have an Sony Bravia " Smart Tv"- KDL32WE613. All that know that this is running on some Linux version( but can't manage to know wich one).
I bought this one brand new from my local store,but what I didn't know was that model already was an discounted model from Sony.
Since this one was made for the UK market- model year 2017, but I bought it for aprox 3 years ago.
Because however since this type of software has a relativity short lifespan ( aprox 1 or 2 months), but my tv never was updated since it left the factory line( aprox 1,5 to nearly 2 years).
So what I noticed when I unboxed the unit was that the software( firmware was quite slow/ like an tired retired person who gave up).
Since it was preinstalled with load of so called factory junk( wich caused me a lot of troubles), but since this is a Tv that's where my troubles started.
I had not used my Tv for more than 2 weeks,before my first crash occured.
After I had contacted Sony ( via mail), and after a couple of mails later( and aprox 5 crashes later) Sony finaly releaed a new update. ( but however this was after nearly 1 year)
When I was in touch with Sony support ( both my local here in Sweden), but aswell with UK- I was treated like an fool/ idiot.
Since their so called fail search is on this level( what We in Sweden call Goodag herr yxaft)- instead of being servicemind an realise that this is an software related issue( not what Sony always start of how my device are connected).
But however the software had crashed for so many times that I have lost count,and after aprox 10 failed/ crashes I also got an defected Motherboard/ Tuner.
Since every time the firmware crashes all of my chanels got lost( and can't perform any new chanel serach).
All that I got is: Zero on the input antenna,and that it also blocking me from performing any chanel search- since this Tv also can recive DVB-T/2 Signals.
But also that it seems that software itself also is in some conflict with external decoder devices aswell( but strangly not DVD- Players)
But besides this my main problrm is that my local tv- distributator also has locked their network( tv) from any other equipment than their own, and also that I can't watch Tv if I don't sign up for an expencive tv subscription.
Since We here in Sweden have so called Public Service- wich mean that I already had payed so why should I pay twice?
But at the other hand they have some free chanels wich I cant watch with my build in decoder.
But since the firmware has crashed( and that Sony themselves don't seems to be interesed to solve a basic/ simpel problem), my Tv is more of an black screen.
So I had it for nearly 2 weeks now.
But however even if it seems hopeless- what I would do is to fix this problem myself( and f- off to Sony with their stupid nonsens/ accusations).
Since I don't know on wich version this units run on,maybe someone else know.
I also read somewhere that Sony has their own type of OS, but this maybe work on universal drivers aswell( non official).
But what's something positiv is that I still can recive spare parts( Motherboard and Tuner)- Since I already has the MB,but not the Tuner.
Since it's useless for me to do anything since the MB is broken( not physicaly but software/ reading error on the CPU)
