Finally today I received an email from Sony, claiming to have rolled out a firmware update. Indeed, my TV ( a KDL-43W809C ) says there is a system update ready to download. Unfortunately, I keep getting the error message:

"An error occurred during the system software update. Network disconnected. Error: (0000)"

Frustratingly, I know my internet connection is fine. Also, my TV is always on standby. Please, does anyone know why this is occurring and how to fix it, or are we going to wait even longer to update these TV's? Not what I was expecting for such an expensive peice of kit.

Anyway, thanks in advance guys (and girls).
