New Firmware April 12

Today I can see a new firmware is available through TV settings.

But, I do not see this available for download and install from usb.

KD-55X8508C

I am about to take the risk... It's downloading and will reply as soon as it's updated.

Just updated to new firmware - took about 40 mins. Netflix working OK. Everything else seems to be working also.

Same issue,  Netflix not working on a 55x8508C post upgrade

Initially my Netflix account didn't work but I kept retrying and after about 3 goes it worked. 

When it logged on it flashed up in blue my Google account had linked it or something. 

All seems to be working OK. 

I think the fundamental thing with these TVs is to have a fast Ethernet connection. Don't relying on wifi. 

Good luck!

Just downloaded the latest firmware for my KD-55X8509C and Netflix works fine. Also noticed that the series Marco Polo is in HDR!
