Android 8.0 Oreo/ 9.0 Pie

Is it OK to expect Android Oreo on 2017 Sony Android TVs?

It is in the support pages of the recent Master Series which comes preinstalled with Oreo (section "Questions and Answers"). It is not really a manual. Just a "get to know the new HOME screen".

Yes. Sooner or later. Don't expect the Oreo update this year though.

Bad hardware together with poor updates - I will NEVER buy a SONY device again - not only tv.

They are worse than Samsung and noone is worse than Samsung!!!

Seems that the update has started to roll-out in the US to 2017 / 2018 models.  As usual there is zero information available on the UK support pages .......  when will we get this?

🤞🏼It starts rolling out across the EU region.

On a side note, is anyone else having issues around linking their Community Account with their Entertaiment Account? It’s driving me nuts that the system can’t handle two accounts using the same Username Email address. If I re-register, I’ll lose all of my existing posts. Arghhhh.
