Twin tuner on 2014 TV lineup

rooobb — Tue, 29 Jul 2014 15:27:51 GMT

This is a question for @Anonymous : did you know that the 2014 lineup has a twin DVBT tuner that can now be enabled by the latest firmware http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/content/cnt-dwnl/prd-tvhc/bravia-kdlw-firmware-update-v2193/KDL-42W805B ?

I'm very surprised since I never heard of a Sony TV spotting a twin tuner (since I think it should be implemented in hw) and I was hoping that it was also in ours "old" W805/7A - but it seems no!

It's also funny that there is non marketing information about it. Just found out only one site that talk about it and it refers only to 4K instead it's valid for the entire lineup starting from W6...

Good Catch Rooob

Ive not seen or heard anything about this to be honest - until your post that is.

Hmm, lets see if we can confirm this

Appreciate the information though !

Cheers.

@rooobb

I found the following page (which I normally visit, but time poor lately !) :

It seems to indicate a Sony stuff up on the FW page.

Want to log an issue or should I?

Do it yourself, you are nearer to the headquarter

I was already spreading the news also in the Italian community... hope it's not an error ...

I'm getting some feedback from the community in Italy that indeed it's not working on W805b... I apologized there, waiting for confirmation...

Just posting this as a clarification to anyone who is reading this:

The Twin Tuner reference to this FW update is ONLY for the 2014 4K TVs.

Cheers

I would love to have this feature. Please Sony make it available for non-4K 2014 sets also. I have a KDL-40W605B.
