I bought the Sony KD-49X8309C recently based on the many positive reviews I found online.

Having taken delivery, and setting up, I was surprised at the lack of some basic features that were present on a small screen Samsung TV that I had previously used - notably no ability to set reminders on Freeview.

I was also expecting to be able to record/pause and replay TV using a USB Stick/Hard Drive albeit formatted exclusively for that purpose - Again the feature is missing despite it being advertised.

Surprisingly there is also no support for Bluetooth headphones.

These are the features that I miss and from searching online I'm not alone.

Can we have a confirmation regarding the future implementations and timescale?
