Did you get the update from settings -> about -> check update

If yes, I don't have any update. Also where can I find my current firmware version?

Thank you!

No mention of the amazon prime fix now, and 2 months too late for for uHD iPlayer support. Thanks for nothing Sony... should have paid the extra for the LG oled.

I just did my update for Sony Bravia XBR850E and I don't appreciate that I lost my Football mode, aka sports mode. I would never would have done the update had I known this was going to happen.. I also am getting a 720P transmission instead of the 1080P and UHD 4K I was getting. Can Sony reverse these problems or are there adjustments I can make? I have improved the picture some by adding brightness and more color in the settings.
