Software Update v6.6230

Jewers — Sun, 10 May 2026 09:21:26 GMT

I have received a notice on my Sony Support app that there is a new software update for my TV - KD-48A9. The software version is v6.6230. I am always apprehensive with updates and have taken advice on this forum to wait a month before updating. If anyone has updated any feedback would be much appreciated.

I updated my KD-48A9 to this version when the TV prompted. So far no issues.

It was a little slow for a few hours after the update, but the release notes say to expect that. After a couple of hours it was fine.

From reading the release notes it's a minimal update - extending a certificate and updating security patches. Of course the usual 'improve stability' note.

It hasn't fixed the issue I get sometimes which is BBC iPlayer taking forever to load, sometimes failing to load at all. Similar with other apps in the Sony Select line.

I haven't reset TV to factory defaults since it was on Android 9, so maybe time for a reset.

Wondering if this model will ever get a later version of Android than 10

Thank you for getting back to me. I now feel reassured to go ahead and update. I have no problem with the apps but on the odd occasion I lose sound when leaving the apps and returning to live TV. The picture is excellent. Thank you again for your help.
