This has been what I am fishing for. Or are we just getting lucky? As I keep noting, its not like we have just controlled a display or 2... Maybe you guys are doing what I do and always recommend with IP controlled TVs...turn auto updates off (where available) and create a policy on the router such that the tv cannot access the WAN.

We do turn off auto updates when possible. We do not have any policy's in the router for the displays. All displays are statically assigned (this would IP assigned).

Doesn’t Elan have IP control of it? It is very solid!
Haven’t controlled a Sony TV via IR in a long long time This is an HC generation controller and there was never an Sony IP driver for them. I had the IR jack on the back working, but it stopped after a day. Not sure what happened.

This^^^ Updates is what kills the network control. It changes the network setting from pre-shared key to simple. Turn off auto-update. And for safe measure, no access to WAN. We don't use any of the smart apps, so no issue with doing this.

I sell a fair amount of Sony and use C4 exclusively. The issue with them losing IP control was real. It was due to a FW update that would disable the pre-shared key. Thankfully, all that was needed was re-enable that and it instantly worked again. In the few cases where it was needed we simply walked clients through it via phone call.
Sony support told me that they realized it and corrected it (maybe even forced a new FW update?). Would make sense since it only seemed to happen to a few systems (mine included)

Lots and lots of truck rolls :-(

Why, if every TV you ever installed has auto update turned off?

He wants to know how an update broke your IP control, if auto updates are always turned off.
I don’t trust just that...be a real man and block that shit from the WAN :-)

Have had several Sony XBR TV's reset to where IP control is turned off. I do IR on them all now. The only reset that I know of that affected sets was about 1 year ago and that was due to an android version update on there sets. Sony had said that when there are OS updated it resets certain flags. They are well aware of the complaints from the last time so its possible this will be addressed on future releases. There is a command on the receivers I believe to activate control, if turned off and had recommended they add that to the TV's as well.

Lots and lots of truck rolls :-( I don't think any of us are calling you crazy or doubting your experience, I am not. I am told our purchasing dept just dropped over $100k in Sony displays for the holidays so I am very interested in one's experience. We are not a retail shop so this gear that is sold and much of it will be controlled via IP.

I had 232 on this TV working for about 10 days then let go. I'm totally not impressed with Sony (or any others right now -- LG's have been good to us though).
