I am using the satellite channels and most aren’t displaying programme information, I have to click on a channel before it displays the information. Can anyone help please, the TV has the latest firmware
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks for the reply but that’s not true my TV does have Freesat and I have actually resolved my issue after reading through a previous post going back to 2014. Obviously the earlier comments weren’t relevant but a more current comment mention that disabling the Freesat, performing a reset, then re-enabling the Freesat and then scanning again for the channels would resolve the issue and indeed it did.
It took a few minutes but all the channels showed their programme information except for the top BBC channel but once I had looked at another BBC 1 channel for a different area the programme information updated.
That was yesterday and when I switched on the TV today all the programme information was still updating so from my point of view my problem is resolved.
Hi @Kreases What is the model number of your TV? It should be something like KD-65XH8096. Earlier Sony TVs did not come with a proprietary EPG on satellite, so could not use the FreeSat EPG for example.

Hi,
The model number is KD-43XH8505
2020, but not Freesat. You have the limitations of raw satellite reception 😢

Glad you fixed it.
I guess we should ask Sony to update their spec for this TV, as it doesn’t mention Freesat:-
