Sony XR-55A90J pixelation issues using card reader (CA module)

[klpeter51]

When using a card reader (CA module) to view scrambled/unscrambled TV channels, pixelation occurs with the 2 latest firmware updates. It was a firmware problem Sony fixed back in 2022, but now Sony has reintroduced it with one of the 2 latest firmware updates. I am running the latest firmware: 6.8156.

It behaves exactly like it did in 2022 when they first introduced the problem. When the CA module is inserted the image pixelates. When it is removed it doesn't.

Sony: please fix the firmware

New firmware yesterday

No pixelation CA module fix obviously.
The technicians (pretend not to) know anything about the problem, because Sony support does everything in their power not to acknowledge it's existence, and do not pass the evidence on to the technicians.

This is sadly what Sony has become. Sigh.
