Netflix casting problem Bravia KDL42W829

Hi,

I'm wondeing if anyone can help. I have a Bravia KDL42W829 TV which has the issue (I've seen the same mentioned here) of the Netflix app crashing.

My solution to this was if I had Netflix running on my iOS devices I could cast to the TV without the Netflix app crashing. This worked fine until recently.

The Netflix iOS app detects the Sony TV and if I select it the source switches to the Netflix app on the TV (the user had/has to be selected).  Since redently though the casting never begins (I get connecting to Bravia in the iOS app until a timeout)

I've tried refreshing network content and factory resets. I can cast from iOS to the Youtube app no problem. I have the same issue on multiple iOS devices. I can cast from Netflix to the Sony Bluray player (in another room) with no issue. 

My iOS devices are on latest versions. My TV is connected via Ethernet (I've also tried wireless)

Netflix were very useful and went through many help steps before suggesting contacting Sony (Who have been ****** useless!)

Does anyone have a suggestingt to solve this issue or can anyone with a similar setip test this to put my mind at rest tjhat it's nopt something I can fix.

Thanks.
